Do you have your permission slip?  You’ll need it for the upcoming issue of the Journal of Museum Education.  This issue, titled "The Field Trip: Enigma or Paradigm," will be published by January 2006. Guest edited by Lynn McRainey of the Chicago Historical Society, this issue of the journal will explore how educators at the Chicago Architecture Foundation, Children's Museum of Indianapolis, High Museum of Art, Japanese American National Museum, and Pacific Science Center are redefining the field trip experience through questioning their own practices and considering the possibilities for change.
