professor and chair of the department of Educational Psychology at Rutgers
University and head of research and audience development at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.  This special workshop will include group
dialogue and an interactive or hands-on project.  The cost for the workshop
if $20 for AMM or EdCom members and $30 for non-members.

The workshop is open to the public and is designed for museum educators in
all museums and cultural institutions.  Off-street parking is available and
the facility is wheelchair accessible.  Continental breakfast will be
