The Museum Educator's Handbook provides a comprehensive and holistic guide to meeting this challenge. The Handbook analyses the educational role of museums and the justification for education services, defining the responsibilities (set out in a sample job description) and requisite attributes and experience of a good museum educator." "This book offers advice for those already engaged in museum education, whether educators, explainers, docents or other staff, and for tutors or students of museum studies. It also offers clear guidance for those who have never set up a museum education service before - whether education specialists, managers or curators - and will also be useful for designers and consultants working with museums."--Jacket.
