Open House for Educators at County Museum

The Education Division of the San Bernardino County Museum will host an Educator Open House on Saturday, September 18 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The open house is free for educators, interns, and pre-service teachers.

“We invite all educators to experience the programs that the museum has available for schools,” said Jolene Redvale, Curator of Education. “Field trips, the loan program, Museum on the Road, and teacher workshops are just some of the resources the museum offers.”

New learning kits, gallery cart talks, and professional development workshops will also be showcased during the open house. Educators can tour the permanent exhibits, the museum gardens, and the Exploration Station and learn how museum exhibits and programs can support State Standards in a variety of curricula.

No reservations are necessary for the Open House. Each teacher and his or her guest will be admitted free. Teachers will also receive a special discount on learning tools and merchandise from the Museum Store.

The San Bernardino County Museum is at the California Street exit from Interstate 10 in Redlands. General admission is $6 (adult), $5 (senior or student) and $4 (child aged 5 to 12). Children under 5 and Museum Association members are admitted free. Parking is free, and the facility is handicapped-accessible. The museum’s Garden Café will be open for lunch and snacks between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. For more information, visit www.sbcountymuseum.org or call (909) 307-2669 / TDD/TTY: (909) 792-1462.
