As part of the Arts in Education Model Development and Dissemination Program, a four-year grant through the US Department of Education to Mount Vernon schools, Miguel worked with sixth grade students in Graham Elementary School where they made clay sculpture relief as part of an exploration of Ancient Egypt in social studies, created paper sculptures as part of a study of math concepts positive and negative, and created paintings while studying weather for science. Fifth graders in Edward Williams Elementary School were engaged in 3D mixed media art projects on landforms, waterways, and climates. Miguel has also done an artist residency with elementary school students at School 13 in Yonkers where children created set designs. Other artist residencies include Paideia School 24, Patricia A. DiChiaro School and Enrico Fermi Performing Arts School in Yonkers, White Plains Hospital CDT Center, and Seton Manor in Yonkers.
