Subject: Docent training begins next week!

 

Docent Training starts up again next week!  Though staff and volunteers are always welcome to attend docent training, this fall training will be a bit different.

 

Since the museum is hosting so many excellent public events related to each of the fall exhibitions, we are asking docents to attend some of these events as a part of the exhibition training.  These public events will satisfy the “lecture” part of exhibition training.

 

The second docent training each month will be a touring workshop.  These will truly be hands on workshops focusing on touring objectives and strategies.  They will include model tours, discussions, and individual and small group time.

 

Please feel free to forward this information to individuals in your department.  If any staff or volunteers are interested in attending the touring workshops this fall please let me know.  And let me know if you have any further questions.

 

Thanks!
