Judith--
 
          I am responding to your request on the list, since there may
          be others out there who are interested in resources
          available.
 
          There are several museum education networks:
 
          EdCom (The Education Committee of the American Association
          of Museums).  Contact:
          David Stark, Curator of Education
          Rhode Island School of Design
          Museum of Art
          224 Benefit Street
          Providence, RI  02903
          (401)454-6530
 
          MER (Museum Education Roundtable)
          3000 Connecticut Ave., NW, Suite 237D
          Washington, DC  20008
          (202)232-6084
          MER produces programs and the Journal of Museum Education.
 
          There may also be also be a network of museum educators in
          your area (we have one in northern California/San Francisco
          Bay Area).  Check with the education departments in other
          Providence museums.  If there isn't one, you may want to
          form one!
 
          Contact your local high school and find out if the science
          teachers can tell you who to contact for the state science
          teachers association.
 
          These are just a few suggestions for getting started.  Good
          luck!
