Deer Retired and Active Teachers,

The Deer Valley Rock Art Center in west Phoenix (Arizona) is
looking for educators who would like to act as docents for
the museum. The DVRAC is a small archaological museum that
is visited weekly by school children on bus tours as well as
the general public.

The DVRAC is the home of a major petroglyph rock site (rock
images carved in stone by prehistoric people known as the
Hohokam). Docents would tell the story of the museum and
the peoples who produced rock art.

This is the perfect opportunity to continue as an educator
if you are retired, or to give you more experience whether
you are new to the profession or a veteran educator.

Docents are communicators, not lecturers, who focus on the
main points of preservation and respect for petroglyphs.

We are also looking for ways to let other teachers in the
area know about this opportunity.

If you would like to know more about volunteering as a
docent for the Deer Valley Rock Art Center of have a
suggestion for outreach venues, please call or e-mail
Casandra Hernandez at 623-582-9007 and
Casandra.Hernandez@asu.edu. In the meantime, I encourage
all to view the DVRAC website at
http://www.asu.edu/clas/shesc/dvrac .

Thank you for any consideration you might give this message.
I hope that many of you take advantage of this worthwhile
and educational volunteer opportunity. We need you!
