Teacher Cadre

Teacher Cadre

The First Amendment Museum’s Teacher Cadre is a group of educators from around the state of Maine who advise, support, and guide the First Amendment Museum (FAM). Teacher Cadre members provide valuable feedback on current museum offerings as well as planned public programming, while also keeping the FAM up to date on educational developments in the state of Maine.

The FAM is greatly appreciative of the Teacher Cadre members’ time, diligence, and commitment to the FAM’s mission. 

If you are an educator interested in joining our Teacher Cadre, please email connect@firstamendmentmuseum.org or call (207) 557-2290.
