September 16, 2014 IT'S TIME FOR THE MEM'S BACK TO SCHOOL ISSUE! 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 & resources 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 a volunteer and/or unwaged.
