Schedule an educator in-service at The Field Museum! Meet with Museum educators to learn the ins and outs of planning successful school group visits and find out how the Museum's resources can support your curriculum. What is an educator in-service? Educator In-services are professional development sessions arranged by The Field Museum's Education Department designed to inform and prepare educators to effectively use museum resources to enhance student learning. We offer two types of educator in-services:
Any university teacher education class, professional education organization, preK-12 school staff, or other group of educators seeking professional development related to the effective use of Museum resources. How much does an in-service cost? In-service fees vary depending upon the type of in-service requested and number of participants. Partner schools (Field Ambassador, HSTP, Ward 2, MAPS) receive a discount on educator in-services. Please contact Jessica Hankey for more information educators@fieldmuseum.org.
Educator in-services for groups larger than 100 are not offered by the Museum’s Education Department. However, you may reserve meeting space for 100+ groups through our Group Sales Department.
