Thinking about interpreter/guide/gallery educator orientation and
continuing development?
You might like to take a look at some ideas that have been posted on a
"wiki" dedicated to this topic. A wiki is a collaborative editing
platform so requires something to start with. I've posted the first
draft of an article I'm writing on how our current practices in this
area can inform the theory of teaching in the museum or gallery setting.
As a museum educator your experience, as train-er or train-ee, would add
to the discussion.
The URL is:
http://interpnexus.jot.com/WikiHome, click on MuseumEducatorsGroup, then
DocentTrainingForum.

them.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
