Lisa-- All of the advice and suggestions you have received has been great. I might add that instead of pursuing a degree in education, how about just taking a class in early childhood education or elementary ed? Because you have your Masters in Art History, you should qualify at any university to audit or take a few graduate classes in education. I was able to and I developed a project with teachers regarding the value of play in museums, as well as a project that combined literacy with play at the pre-school level. I think museum educators and classroom teachers benefit greatly from spending time together. Elizabeth J.
