Pre-Service Teacher Museum Day

The Museum Division is excited to announce a Pre-service Teacher Museum Day on Saturday October 13, 2007. The Museum Division will be partnering with the Student Division to bring about a great opportunity for pre-service teachers be introduced to ways they can use museums as resources and for museums to hear what the next generation of teachers wants from us. We are looking at this to become a yearly happening where museums around the state will take turns showcasing their offerings and hosting the event for pre-service teachers. The Columbus Museum of Art is pleased to hold the event this year. If your Museum is interested in hosting the event next year please contact me.

Registration
Free for OAEA members, $10 for non-members. For registration information call 614-629-0363.

Welcome

Welcome to the OAEA Museum Division pages!

Hello, my name is Jessimi Jones and I will be the Museum Division Chair for 2007 and 2008. Currently I am the Educator for Teacher and School Partnerships at the Columbus Museum of Art. Over my past five years of working in a museum setting I have become passionate about the many experiences that can happen when looking at art. In addition, I am constantly excited to find better ways to serve teachers and students through museum experiences. Please contact me at anytime to discuss our role in OAEA or how to build a better connect with each other and with teachers. I am excited to talk with you and grow our division.
