A survey was conducted among 139 elementary public, private, parochial, charter, and home school teachers to help Kingman Museum in Battle Creek, Michigan re-establish educational programming with area schools after having been closed for two years. The purpose of the study was to identify museum programs that teachers are most likely to use, the curriculum standards that those programs must meet, and teachers' preferences regarding museum program environments. The instrument was a 90-item self-administered questionnaire. The study used survey research methods approved by the Western Michigan University (WMU) Human Subjects Institutional Review Board. Results revealed that teachers were most likely to use in-class programs presented by museum staff or trained volunteers, staff-guided museum visits, traveling exhibits, resource kits, and planetarium programs; and were least likely to visit Kingman Museum multiple times in a school year. Teachers reported that meeting curriculum standards at all levels was very important with priority given to the following order: school standards, teacher's own classroom standards, state standards, national standards, and county intermediate school district standards. Teachers' preferred museum program environments that integrate hands-on activities, use a variety of learning styles and critical thinking skills, help students apply what they are learning to their daily lives, are equally fun and educational, involve physical activity during some or most of the visit, and allow students to learn with a partner or in teams. Teachers reported that the maximum amount of time they could devote to a Kingman Museum visit (not including travel time) was one to two hours. (Contains 5 tables.)
