In March 2008, the Midwest chapter of EdCom will host a conference in Chicago entitled "No Museum Left Behind." With the passing of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB)legislation in 2001, schools have often struggled to meet the new needs of both teachers and students. This enormous change in education policy has had a ripple effect on museums from decreased school visits to the altering of program content. With the inevitable reauthorization of NCLB later this year by Congress, how has your museum adapted and changed to meet these new needs?
We are seeking proposals for this conference. Please email Nathan Richie, EdCom Midwest Chair (
