Best Practices Materials for Ed Departmental Director

    Greetings, Museum peers!  I am an Educational Director at an environmental and American History non-profit looking for some recommendations on best practices for program development and training.  In 2010, I had inherited a host of educational programs that had been created in the early 1990s and early 2000s that required revision and re-development. Since then I have embraced the challenge and spent the past 10+ years immersing myself in the range of disciplinary content, experimenting with different program formats for different audiences, as well as speaking and relating to my audiences to monitor success.  Today, I feel strongly that I have made great strides in creating programs that are fun and inspiring to teach, and that successfully bring teachers and students back each year.  Now, I am ready to solidify and formalize my program drafts, but need to put the procedures in place for myself.  (I have no direction for doing so from administration). Can anyone pass on to me best practices for finalizing new programs i.e. committee review, creation of new prep materials, training instructional staff?  Thank you for any guidance! Sincerely, Deborah.
