A Scenario for the Future of Museums
Cunningham, Mary Kay
Journal of Museum Education, v34 n2 p163-170 Sum 2009
More than any other staff member, museum educators' knowledge and experience working with visitors make them uniquely qualified to take on leadership roles as museums transform themselves into lifelong learning organizations. The article encourages museum educators to initiate discussions about change by offering a fictional scenario of future leadership roles and a framework of relevant questions challenging educators, along with other staff, to begin their own organizational transformation. (Contains 14 notes.)
