I found this article to be generally about meetings rather than dealing w/ the topic of teacher advisory panels (it is likely that I, however, am doing something wrong & not actually finding the correct article) but would be really interested in any further information in this thread being posted on-line.  I’m interested in the exact same questions that Jennifer originally posted, but, more directly, do these teachers receive compensation?

Thanks!

We are currently revamping our teacher advisory panel. We look to the panel to help us gather insight on such topics as maintaining quality programs, increasing attendance, exhibit development, and any other issues that may be pertinent. We are looking for advice on the following:

How does your institution find teachers to sit on your panel? What criteria do you have for teachers or administrators on the panel? How do you keep your teachers on the panel? What do the teachers get out of being on the panel? How often do you meet? How do you involve the staff in your institution? Who is invited to the meetings? How do you use your panel? What general advice would you give?

Any information is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jennifer
