CFP: Museum Education Matters - Current Trends in Museum Education

From The Attic's Chicago-based correspondant ;)

The Standing Professional Committee on Education (EdCom) of the AmericanAssociation of Museums in collaboration with the Museum Education Roundtable (MER) Call for Proposals for the 2007 Read The Fine Print Held at the 2007 AAM Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL on Monday, May 14, 2007, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

2007 Theme: This year's Marketplace will expand upon the larger theme of the Annual Meeting, "Why Museums Matter," and is entitled Museum Education Matters: Current Trends in Museum Education


As museum education professionals and volunteers, we understand how and why museum education matters. But are we doing an effective job of communicating this to others? What are current trends in museum education that convey the value of museum education to the public, the media, policy-makers and funders? What are the key messages that we as a community are communicating, and need to communicate?
