Researching or evaluating school or other programs/resources related to formal education in museums? The September BACK TO SCHOOL issue of MUSEUM EDUCATION MONITOR (MEM) will highlight ongoing museum education research, evaluation and resources related to school programs and continuing education for students of all ages, including curriculum-related programs, ESL/ESD, outreach, loan services and so on. 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 free one-year 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 - time span - contact information - key words/labels to describe the project [No more than 4 or 5, please. Please see the MEM Blog for common key words http://forum.mccastle.com/]. All listings are free of charge and displayed in their language of origin. Deadline for the September MEM is Friday September 21. FYI, the August MEM Special Internship Issue included descriptions of over 25 museum education internships that took place this summer at sites around the world.
