The second edition of Museum Educator’s Manual is a practical update for the evolving field. The authors address programming, staffing and funding as well as the nuances of how people learn in the museum environment. This hands-on guide featuring experienced and innovative professionals is an inspiring contribution as we address dramatic changes in how museums and audiences interact. -- Sandra Harris, Executive Director, Desert Caballeros Western Museum and Organizational Strategist, @museumlife
The inclusion of Universal Design and Technology make this second edition of The Museum Educator’s Manual an even more valuable resource for museum educators. While geared towards those in the beginning and mid-level of their careers, this book will have broad appeal for a wide range of practitioners in museums of varying sizes and types. -- Keni Sturgeon, Director of Science & Education, Pacific Science Center
The Museum Educator's Manual is a complete resource for museum educators, at any point in their career trajectory. It includes practical tools for a wide range of applications, from strategic planning to program development and implementation. As a museum director, it is refreshing to see an emphasis on aligning the museum education programs with the overall mission of the larger institution. It further dives into the timely discussion of the role that current technology plays in museum education planning and implementation, both the opportunities and the potential pitfalls. I look forward to sharing it with our museum education team as a guide for creative program development. -- Kathleen Socolofsky, director, UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden Assistant Vice, Chancellor, Campus Planning
