Abstract

It is through the collective work of museum educators that an organization grows its social capital in its local community and beyond its physical footprint. Given the significant contributions of museum educators to an institution's outcomes, we argue for a shift in mindset on investing in their growth and development. We share our reasoning for this change through our experiences from the "Reflecting on Practice" program. Two leaders in our community offer their reflections on why they took this leap of faith and the outcomes 5-10 years since their first step.
