Does your school system(s) offer paid in-service days for teachers and are teachers allowed to do their in-service out of the school?  If so, then you can offer your “focus-group” opportunity free of charge to them, throw in a free lunch and get your answers.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Question on working with teachers & schools

 

I've got a question on working with teachers and schools. We've had a pretty good relationship with our schools for the last 20 years or so. But, with how things have changed for teachers as far as what they can teach and how many trips they're allowed to take we are looking at retooling all of our education resources. What we want to do is get teachers together with key museum staff to show them currently what we offer and ask them specifically what they need and two, to find out how we can offer in-service programs. How do we get them here? What do you offer that has worked well and what has not? This is new to us, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
