K-12 Level Educational Programs at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame + Museum

The award-winning Education Department of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is proud to be a part of the educational experience for over twenty thousand students and teachers each year. Our on-site K-12 educational programs offer you and your students a unique interdisciplinary experience. Rockin’ the Schools engages students in actively exploring the history of rock and roll, while meeting and exceeding Ohio Academic Content Standards for learning in subject areas such as music, language arts, social studies, science, and technology through live demonstrations, musical examples, video excerpts, and multimedia presentations. Where else can you discover the history and culture of 1960s America by watching a historic video performance of Rock Hall Inductees Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin, or delve into the science of acoustics by participating in a demonstration of computer recording technology?

Each Rockin’ the Schools program includes a one hour interactive class taught by our staff of highly trained educators, the opportunity to self tour related museum exhibits, and a wealth of additional materials that allow teachers the opportunity to extend learning both before and after the museum visit.

To support educators’ efforts to integrate the program into their curriculum, this website provides related academic content standards, descriptions for each class, Pre-Visit Guides, and all the necessary scheduling information. Participating schools also receive admission to the Museum and are encouraged to explore related exhibits either before or after the scheduled class using special In the Museum guides and/or the grade specific Student Activity Guides. All participating teachers will also receive an educational packet during their visit that is complete with extension activities for use in their classroom.

The programs are available to Northeast Ohio schools at no cost. Regional groups can participate in Rockin’ the Schools for a minimal fee. So if you’re planning to take one field trip with your class or school this year, make it the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum!
