TAM Docents: Training Calendar to Date

Hello Docents and VSS Volunteers-

As Rock has been out of town and very busy, as usual, I have still not been able to confirm some training times with him. Below is what I have confirmed on the Docent Training Calendar to date. VSS is also encouraged to join in the docent trainings. As a reminder, docents get the student rate for all of the lectures listed below that are not required trainings (required trainings are always free!) If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know, and I will get the later training times to you as I am able to confirm them.

Thank you for all that you do for Tacoma Art Museum!

Month of May – Any time you can arrange

During the month of May, pair up with another docent and do a tour – even if it is just for the other docent (act as you would with a visitor). Assess touring technique for peer evaluation. This is also your chance to let me know what you would like more training opportunities in.
