Teaching Archaeology in the 21st Century: Promoting A National DialoguePurpose and Instructions for the Web DiscussionBased on the various efforts to examine archaeology and prepare ourselves, and our students, for the 21st Century, we are at a point where we must collectively decide where the profession is heading and chart that course. The purpose of this web based discussion is to promote a national dialogue on the topic of Teaching Archaeology in the 21st Century and to solicit comments, suggestions, and recommendations on how to go about meeting the challenges of the new millennium. To assist in focusing this discussion a series of five questions are posed. A place for open discussion is also provided. Information about primary work setting and academic degree level are requested to assist in evaluating the data. Check off boxes are also provided if you would like additional information about the SAA's Task Force on Curriculum or would like to be involved in this initiative. Information receoved will be summarized and included in a Special Report the SAA will publish in the Winter of 1999 along with the results of the forum on Teaching Archaeology in the 21st Century held at the 1999 SAA meetings in Chicago. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this critical issue. We Want Your Ideas and SuggestionsWe hope you will share any thoughts you might have on curriculum reform. For your convenience, you may respond in a web-based discussion of specific questions by clicking on link below. There is also a place for any other comments or suggestions, if you find the questions unsuitable.
