The July MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM) will highlight ongoing work in
museum education research, evaluation and resources related to science
education and learning. Working in this area? I invite you to share your
research with interested others around the world.

Listings by workers at all sites of informal learning (museums, galleries,
science centres, parks, historic sites,  etc.), consultants, faculty, and
students at all levels of study are welcomed.

To assist with this, MEM continues to offer a one-year free subscription to
any student in a museum-education related course or program and to any
museum educator who is currently unwaged. See
http://www.mccastle.com/Public/MEM.aspx for details.

To share your ongoing research and evaluation, just send an e-mail to me at
[log in to unmask] that includes:
- name of project 
- research or evaluation question(s) [no more than 50 words, please]
- how the data will be presented
- principal researcher(s)/ evaluator(s)
- site(s) where research is being conducted

Resources in Museum Education" at http://forum.mccastle.com/.
