Resumen: Education is central to the existence of museums, but resourcing and running an education service is a different matter. 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. The author suggests how to set up the service, outlines the background research necessary and takes the reader through bureaucratic and logistical problems that may be encountered. This includes guidance on how best to work and communicate with colleagues to progress educational activities, and how to produce education policy and other constitutional documents, samples of which are provided in appendices. The second half of the book sets out the likely needs of different user groups from families and children to teachers and specialist researchers, explains the demands of school curricula and advises on how to develop appropriate marketing, networking, user relationships and information services. The book ends with a chapter on day-to-day logistics from planning and evaluation to booking and emergency procedures; and a realistic chapter on resourcing and fund-raising issues. This book offers invaluable 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.
