This is a request for comments and suggestions on a possible topic for an
upcoming issue (1998 or 1999) of the Journal of Museum Education.  Many
museums, both art and science, appear to be either creating schools
themselves or collaborating with schools and school systems in a variety
of ways  in order to have an impact on school reform, teaching
strategies, implementation of standards, etc .

1.  Please send me a brief note if you are engaged in such a project
2.  Whether you are working on a museum-school project or not, please let
me know if you think an issue of the Journal devoted to this topic would
be useful, of interest, etc.
3.  If there have been efforts to study or evaluate such projects, this
would also be of interest
 Note,  I've already sent out this request to  the Informal Science
Education Network and received  good response; I apologize in advance to
those of you on several museum related lists because you will probably
see this message several times.  I also ask that you respond to me on the
list because, from my ISEN experience, there are a number of people who
are interested in this and would like to know who is responding.
Thanks very much,
Gretchen Jennings
