Education programs are some of the most visible and resource-intensive work that museums undertake. Yet planning them often happens quickly, under pressure, and without fully accounting for the systems they depend on.

This webinar explores a more thoughtful approach to strategically planning education initiatives. Rather than focusing on program logistics alone, we will consider how capacity, dependencies, and competing priorities influence whether a well-intentioned plan succeeds or struggles and discover practical tools to support more resilient decision-making now and in the future.

Led by Rachel Gibson, a veteran museum educator, leader, and founder of Modern Museum Education, this webinar draws on her work as a researcher and consultant supporting small and mid-sized museums in designing meaningful, sustainable programs.
