I would be interested in hearing about this as well. We are looking at starting a teacher ambassador/professional development group, and are curious what other museums might be offering. Also, since we are located in IL, certain changes in how a teacher receives continuing education credits have made it seem as if museums are no longer accredited to be offering these. Anyone else in IL dealing with these changes in how they offer professional development to teachers?

Good afternoon,

 

I am looking to connect with anyone who has developed any professional development programs for teachers and is willing to share their experiences.  I’m looking for more than field trips and standard educational programming—even more than teacher workshops—programs very specifically identified as “PD” for teachers.  Do you have a marketing plan?  Do you run your program at your site or actually go to schools on PD days?  Do  you work only in your local area or do you have a state-wide approach?  What kind of evaluations and benchmarking do you do?

 

Thanks for any information you can share!
