No Museum Left Behind
A Workshop presented by the Association of Midwest Museums (AMM),
and the Midwest Committee of EdCom
Friday, March 14, 2008
8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Loyola University Museum of Art
820 N. Michigan Ave.
Chicago, IL

Since the passing of the 2001 No Child Left Behind(NCLB) legislation, many schools have struggled to meet the new
needs of both teachers and students. This enormous change in education policy has had a ripple effect on museums from
decreased school visits to the altering of program content. With the inevitable reauthorization of NCLB later this year by
Congress, museums will continue to struggle with these challenges. Panelists from various institutions will present creative
programs that their museums have adapted for the NCLB legislation.

The registration fee for the workshop is $50 for AMM or EdCom members and $65 for non-members, which includes
morning refreshments and lunch. Registration will begin at 8:30 am and the workshop will start at 9:15 am.

All registrants are invited to register for a special post-workshop reception and view of the exhibit, Andy Warhol’s
Silver Clouds, on display at the LUMA. The cost for the reception and exhibit is $10.
This workshop is limited to 60 attendees – please make your reservation today!
