In the guest editor introduction, Making the Case for Transforming Training, Jennifer DePrizio argues that we need to rethink our training practices for gallery guides.

This Reader Guide encourages museum educators to take an inventory of their institution’s current training practices and then place this audit side by side with the program’s aspirations and goals.

Taking time to assess what you do now, and to consider what you might do differently will in itself influence your program.
