The purpose of this survey is to generate new insights and information for our government stakeholders that allows museums and galleries to better tell their stories of success and impact in education. We have included space at the end for you to tell us your stories and thoughts in your own words. You can complete this survey anonymously or let us know which institution you are from. All data collected from the survey will be made available to Museums Aotearoa members.
Why is this important? We know how much untapped potential our museum educators, professionals and collections have and what we could offer to New Zealand students and teachers. We need to give our people and collections the visibility they deserve with decision makers.
What we know: Teachers and schools do seek us out to support the delivery of curriculum and key competencies – teachers know we are a fact-checked, reliable resource. NZ History is not well-served on the internet. Teachers are overwhelmed with data, sources. Physical place, personal contact. Teachers are too tired. We have heard you share all of this and more. This survey is about putting some additional rigor around the stories you have already generously shared.
