About Us
The Museum Education Consortium of Buffalo (MECOB) is a cooperative group of educators from the local cultural organizations shown on our home page.
The New York State Learning Standards stress the value and importance of cultural organizations as resources for learning. Our cultural institutions offer primary sources and first-hand experiences with art, history, science, and the flora and fauna of our world - both in the present and from the past. They are valuable assets for teaching and learning about our region and the world.
While many educators and community group organizers are aware that guided tours are offered, they may not know about the other educational opportunities offered at cultural organizations. Hands-on learning, interactive tours, loan kits, classroom presentations, audio-visual programs, curriculum guides, and additional resources are only some of the services we can provide. Museum educators are available to work with you and provide the resources to meet your curriculum needs.
The members of the Museum Education Consortium of Buffalo want you to know that there is a wealth of educational resources and programs waiting for you and your students to discover and experience. Please use this website as a guide to explore the possibilities for using Buffalo's cultural organizations as partners in education.
