EDUCATION ADVISORY BOARD

The Education Advisory Board of the ALPLM works in conjunction with the Education Department in the development and implementation of educational programming for students and adults. The Board is made up of approximately twenty educators, administrative professionals, museum and library professionals, historians and civic leaders who meet quarterly. The role of the Board is three-fold:

  • To act as a sounding board for new ideas and innovative programming; to brainstorm with the Education Department staff and bring creative solutions to the table; to provide a network of support and contacts to the Education Department.

  • To actively work with the Education Department in the creation and implementation of programming.

  • To provide peer review and constructive criticism of lesson plans, print materials, programs and workshops presented by the Education Department.
