Description
The Museum Educator’s Manual addresses the role museum educators play in these days’s museums from an experience-based standpoint. Seasoned museum educators writer each and every chapter, emphasizing key programs together with case studies that provide successful examples, and demonstrate a practical foundation for the day by day operations of a museum education department, no matter how small.
The book covers:
- volunteer and docent management and training;
- exhibit development;
- program and event design and implementation;
- working with families, seniors, and teens;
- collaborating with schools and other institutions; and
- funding.
This second edition interweaves technology into each and every aspect of the manual and includes two entirely new chapters, one on Museums – An Educational Resource for Schools and every other on Active Learning in Museums. With invaluable checklists, schedules, organizational charts, program examples, and other how-to documents included all over, The Museum Educator’s Manual is a ‘should have’ book for any museum educator.
