Discovery Children's Museum

Discovery children's Museum will develop, implement, and evaluate a new staff training program that will empower staff to facilitate high quality learning and discovery opportunities to more effectively meet the varied educational needs of visitors. Program components include development of training materials, collaboration with recognized professionals in customized training curriculum, establishment of a peer advisory group from other institutions with successful staff training programs, and inclusion of an external evaluator to assess impact of the training program on the Visitor's experience. Program area managers, educators and presenters, volunteers and interns, and museum visitors will benefit from the in-depth training which will enhance staff's ability to engage visitors, facilitate meaningful interactions, interpret content, and fulfill the museum's educational mission.
