Talk to the folks:
at Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum about their summer design
institute program for teachers, A City of Neighborhoods
[www.ndm.si.edu and www.cityofneighborhoods.org];
at the Municipal Art Society about their summer program for middle &
high school students, Investigating Where We Live [originally
developed by the National Building Museum] [www.mas.org and
www.mas.org/projects/iwwl.cfm]
at City Parks Foundation, which offers teacher training in
conjunction with their environmental education program for students
grades 1 to 4, Seeds to Trees [www.cityparksfoundation.org].
Good luck.

>I am with a small historic preservation organization in New York
>City. Recently my education committee brought up the idea of having
>a teacher's workshop in teaching historic preservation. The
>committee sees a workshop as a way to involve teachers more in our
>formal education program as well as a way to provide teachers the
>tools to teach about historic preservation.
>
>So, any advice from those of you who have organized teacher
>workshops, especially in New York City, would be appreciated.
>
>More specifically, I am wondering:
>
>Does an organization need to have any special credentials to do
>this? We do have a charter by the New York State Department of
>Education. We are not a vendor for New York City schools.
>
>Do most organizations offer credit for thier workshops, or not? Does
>not offering credit lower the numbers of teachers who get involved?
>
>What fee do you normally charge?
>
>What types of materials are most teachers looking to bring home with
>them from workshops?
>
>Where do your participants come from? Advertising? Previous
>relationship through formal education program?
>
>Please feel free to offer advice on anything I haven't brought up. I
>am rather new to this and would like to hear from those a bit more
>seasoned.
>
>Thanks in advance for your help.
