This book examines museum education from the perspective of 33 authors from the field, resulting in a collective vision elevating the function of education within museums. A variety of perspectives offered throughout the collection of essays push further thinking and encourage robust debate. Both museum practitioners and university-level students will find the contents of this book useful as it delves into theory, but it also informs on exemplary models of practice. Museum education has developed much over the past 20 years, yet there remains an opportunity to advance its position within art museums with effective practice and the creation of successful programs.
In 1967, the National Art Education Association published an official position statement, "The Essentials of a Quality School Art Program," intended for use by individuals and groups responsible for elementary and secondary school art programs in the United States. This updated version presents, as nearly as possible, a consensus of earnest, experienced judgment in the profession. The update is divided into the following parts: (1) "Purposes and Principles for School Art Programs"; (2) "What Students Should Know and Be Able To Do in the Visual Arts"; (3) "Current Trends in Art Education"; (4) "Standards"; (5) "Glossary"; and (6) "NAEA Program Standards Award."

It is important to maintain a history and archival record of the art education professional associations, state and national. Those who have gone before should be honored, since they struggled to build the National Art Education Association into the largest association of its kind in the world.

Michael); (2) "The Development of the NAEA Constitution" (Ivan E. Johnson); (3) "A National As...
