Testimonials from Past Members
“I loved learning about the resources the Museum had for teachers to use back at home; enjoyed learning about future resource development.”
“I liked getting to know teachers from across the country and to talk history with them. I liked the programs being offered by the museum. I wish I had these when I was teaching high school! I believe they really did value what the advisory committee had to say. I thought communication was appropriate & informative, especially after I was signed up for the newsletter.“
“Developing curriculums with online artifacts to explore. They are fantastic: focused, rich, and relevant. I hope to continue working with the museum on the TAC to maintain connection to the museum and fellow educators so that I can experience more.”
