NMWA & Partners

The National Museum of Women in the Arts developed the ABC curriculum in partnership with the Albuquerque Public Schools in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the Arlington Public Schools in Arlington, Virginia, and the Albuquerque Museum of Art in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

ABC research was performed by Dr. Robert Lissitz, Professor and Director of the Maryland Assessment Research Center for Education Success at the University of Maryland, College Park, and Dr. Melissa Fein, Senior Associate, Measuring Merit Psychometric and Evaluation Consulting in Rockville, Maryland.
