EdCom has recognized outstanding contributions to museum education by individual practitioners, museums offering distinguished programs, and by individuals whose leadership at the national level has impacted the public dimension of the museum. Judging is based upon the EdCom publication Excellence in Practice: Museum Education Standards and Principles.
The John Cotton Dana Award for Leadership recognizes an individual or organization working within or outside of the museum field who has impacted the public dimension of the museum at the national level. The AAM Education Committee established the award in 1991 in tribute to John Cotton Dana, Founder and Director of the Newark Museum.
