Teacher Resource Fair

Teachers: Enjoy a free opportunity to learn how community organizations can amp up your offerings in the classroom and on field trips. The Teacher Resource Fair is offered through a partnership by the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors and the Santa Fe Community Educators Network, made up of education directors from local nonprofits and government entities.

Teachers of all kinds—from public schools, private schools and home schooling—are welcome. Free admission to explore the museum from 4–5 pm. From 5–7, visit with representatives from dozens of nonprofits and government entities that have programs for you and your students. Mingle with fellow teachers, enjoy light refreshments, register for door prizes and collect free materials.

The Santa Fe Educators Network was established to collaboratively meet the needs of Santa Fe youths. The members work in concert to provide outcome driven programming in and out of school hours. Organizations involved with informal education meet monthly to discuss a variety of topics.  Groups include cultural organizations, foundations, environmental organizations, and public school representatives. Lead collaborators from the Santa Fe Community Educators Network include Dollars4Schools at the Santa Fe Community Foundation, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Museum of International Folk Art, New Mexico Department of Game & Fish, New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors, New Mexico Museum of Art, School for Advanced Research/Indian Arts Research Center, Santa Fe Botanical Garden, Santa Fe Watershed Association and SITE Santa Fe.
