Six California museums have been selected to receive the inaugural award for excellence in museum education, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium is one of them.
The six awardees were chosen by California Superintendent of Schools Tom Torlakson to recognize the achievements in museum programs that benefit K-12 students or educators. The Aquarium was chosen for its WATCH program -- Watsonville Area Teen Conserving Habitats, a year long program for high school students to conduct research, community outreach, and other activities specific to ocean conservation.
Also in the list are:
The Autry Museum
The J. Paul Getty Museum
The Museum of Contemporary Art
Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History
Santa Mónica Museum of Art
The winning organizations will be presented with their awards at an awards luncheon in Berkeley this Friday as part of the California Association of Museums’ annual conference.
