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.
