LANDMARK WEST! makes learning about architecture, neighborhood history and historic preservation come alive! Using our ground-breaking student workbook, My Preservation Journal (see above), as well as lessons, walking tours, and workshops – free to NYC public schools – LW! is raising the next generation of preservationists and community advocates. During the 200p-2010 school year, we reached 66 classrooms on the Upper West Side, inspiring neary 1,700 students and teachers to become more engaged in their historic surroundings. KPF engages students in the built environment with an interdisciplinary approach. Below is a listing of our programs: |

| Teacher Testimonials Alan Wallman, 2nd grade, PS 166 “The students were provided with experiences that they would not ordinarily have. The students really enjoyed the program, especially constructing their neighborhood. This program really supported my Social Studies curriculum.” Lin Balinsky, 2nd grade, PS 145 “Part of our Social Studies is about urban, suburban, and rural neighborhoods. The walks and activities helped students pay close attention to what is here in our own highly urban neighborhood. I definitely want to invite the program back into my classroom next year!” |
