On Community and regional Museum Education groups

We continue to hear from museum educators about what they are discussing in their regional groups and would like to share it here.  From our regions we have been hearing that educators continue to meet to strategize ways to publicize their programs and on how to provide museum education resources to teachers.  Museum educators regularly attend teacher conferences and present teacher workshops in continuing efforts to bridge the 'fuzzy' divide between formal and informal arenas. Other groups have moved into the realm of the book group, discussing the Journal of Museum Education or other literature and ideas.  Museum educators are always a blend of the hands on practical and the theoretical and our regional group discussions reflect that dichotomy.

Stay tuned for news from far flung areas such as Canada, Kansas and the UK.
