Included are sections on learning styles; seeing or learning from objects; family groups, school groups and serving visitors with special needs; appropriate language and guidelines for current practice in addressing arts and artifacts of indigenous peoples; dealing with problems; technology and the docent; and much more.

Download or read book A New Role for Museum Educators written by Elizabeth Wood and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-26 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New Role for Museum Educators shows how learning happens in communities, how volunteers and professionals approach their work, the underlying principles and philosophies that guide the work of museum education, and how these practices are always evolving to remain relevant. Museum education in its most expansive definition is about communicating messages, creating learning experiences, and, at its most aspirational, promoting human development for people of all backgrounds, abilities, and circumstances. This edited volume revisits the legacy of museum education practices, reflecting on the changing context of community and the role of cultural institutions, and provides insights into new directions that museums can take with a visitor-centered mindset. It provides foundational concepts around educational philosophies that guide practice, applied methods and approaches for implementation, and the ethos of an educational institution intended to support community learning and engagement that are essential to provide for the wide-ranging needs of all audiences. International perspectives from a variety of museums are considered, including art museums, children’s museums, history museums and historic sites, science museums, botanical gardens, zoos, and aquariums. Chapters include thought-provoking reflections on contemporary practices, concrete examples from across the globe, and useful tools for anyone working with public audiences. Grounded in practice and informed by research, this volume will be a go-to resource for arts and cultural organization practitioners, particularly those working in Museum Education. It will also be essential reading for students of Museum Studies, Education, and related fields

There are eight chapters in the book. Each chapter speaks to a central theme that is encountered in both art docent training and in the actual pursuit of giving tours. For example, Docent Details answers the questions: do you need to be an artist and do you need to know anything about art to become a docent in an art museum? Also in the book are explanations and descriptions about the beginnings of art and art institutions, launching a tour, speaking to the public, what is necessary to know, making the case for contemporary art, and building relationships. From the beginning of docent training to becoming a full-fledged tour guide in an art museum, this amusing and practical book will answer questions you never thought to ask.
