Happy New Year, Educators!
We hope you have enjoyed the holidays and wish you peace in the New Year. We have been busy over the holidays continuing to finalize plans for our 2010 conferences and look forward to working with you at The Newark Museum this year.
In the next several days, we will be posting more resource links as well as more detailed agendas for the each day of the conferences, starting with the Early America conference scheduled for February 10-13.
Please be sure to make your travel and lodging arrangements for the conferences if you have not yet done so, and be sure to contact me via email at eaaron@newarkmuseum.org if you have questions.
Did you turn in your lesson plan?!
Teachers who attended the NEH Picturing America conferences were required to write a lesson plan or teaching activity based on the content of the conference. If you have not already done so, please email your lesson promptly to Elizabeth Aaron at ejmaaron@andromeda.rutgers.edu. Thank you!
We look forward to sharing the lessons with all our participants as well as a broader audience later this fall through our blog and the Educators' area of our Museum website.

In Preparation for the Conferences
John Updike's Lecture entitled "The Clarity of Things" What is American about American Art?, dated May 22, 2008 at the National Endowment for the Humanities is a great podcast to listen to in preparation for the NEH Picturing America conference at The Newark Museum.
At the conference, you will receive several books from the Museum, but they are not required reading for the sessions! Rather, we hope you take them home and read them on your own after the conferences. They will add to and enrich your understanding of our scholars' presentations.

I am a veteran teacher attending the June conference. My roommate had to cancel. Anyone out there that still needs a roommate? I already have reservations at the Treat Hotel.
