>
>
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation, adopted by congress in 2001,
> was a federal response to lagging academic performance by American
> students. The legislation attempted to improve the quality of education
> for all children while simultaneously closing the achievement gap
> between lower and upper income students. Among other things, NCLB
> legislation imposed tighter academic standards and placed greater
> emphasis on standardized testing--specifically on math, science, and
> literacy skills. While the legislation has had some notable successes,
> it has also been met with widespread dissatisfaction. Although classroom
> teachers and school administrators have been most affected by NCLB, many
> museum educators have also reported changes both positively and
> negatively in museum visitation and program participation by schools as
> a direct result of the legislation. Seven years later, as Congress
> considers reauthorizing the bill, museums have yet to get a firm grasp
> on how they have been affected by this landmark legislation or how they
> might use the legislation to benefit their institutions and the
> communities they serve. To further the conversation about NCLB, the
> Midwest Region of EdCom in partnership with the Association of Midwest
> Museums is presenting a day long seminar called No Museum Left Behind:
> Museum Educators Respond to NCLB Legislation. The program will be held
> at the Loyola University Museum of Art on Friday, March 14, 2008.
> Participants in the program will leave the seminar with a firm
> understanding of NCLB legislation mandates, learn ways they can adapt
> existing programs to meet state and national standards, and discover
> ideas how to create new programming that fulfils NCLB requirements.
>
> Because the conversation is still new, Midwest EdCom and the McCormick
> Tribune Freedom Museum have prepared a short survey for museum educators
> about their experiences and attitudes toward NCLB. Please take a few
> moments to fill out this short survey and forward the link along to your
> fellow museum educators
