Workshop: Focusing on Visitors: Public Programming and Exhibits at History Institutions
This workshop provides a broad overview of public programming and exhibits with a focus on active learning. Themes are based on
The Museum Educator’s Manual: Educators Share Successful Techniques, coauthored by one of the workshop instructors.
 
Keeping visitors at the forefront of our thinking, participants will explore a wide range of topics including audience types, volunteer management and training, tour techniques, active learning with people of all ages, developing/updating exhibits, demonstrating relevance, marketing, evaluation, planning, and collaboration. Case studies and interactive activities provide excellent opportunities to engage with fellow participants and our host site. Attendees will leave the workshop with information, ideas, and materials they can take back to their organizations to adapt and apply.
