Subject: Survey: Outreach Programs
Museum Educators,
The Division of Education, Carnegie Museum of Natural History is compiling
information on museum educational programs.
Would you please take a moment to fill out the following questionnaire
concerning outreach programming at your museum. I am particularly
interested in finding out which museums provide outreach programming for
special needs children's audiences and the elderly.
Even if you do not provide programs for each of these groups, please respond
by letting me know that. It's just as important to know who is not providing
these services as well as those who are.
I will be happy to provide an update of the data to all educators who
participate in answering the following questions:
