Description

The Museum Educator's Manual addresses the role museum educators play in today's museums from an experience-based perspective.

Seasoned museum educators author each chapter, emphasizing key programs along with case studies that provide successful examples, and demonstrate a practical foundation for the daily 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 every aspect of the manual and includes two entirely new chapters, one on Museums - An Educational Resource for Schools and another on Active Learning in Museums.

With invaluable checklists, schedules, organizational charts, program examples, and other how-to documents included throughout, The Museum Educator's Manual is a 'must have' book for any museum educator.
