Interpretation and Education (Recommendations 19 and 20) 1 week, 2 days agoTerrific to see this document moving forward — it will be such an asset to all of us working in this field! I have one observation: On page 4, under VISION, the first entry under “Interpretation in the Refuge system should” is the bullet-point: “communicate our mission.” All subsequent bullet-points are directly related to interpretation…[Read more]

Interpretation and Education (Recommendations 19 and 20) 1 week, 3 days agoI’m really happy with the draft strategic plan! I am glad that you emphasized developing knowledge and skills in all employees, not just those in the visitor services series. Bravo!
I had just a couple of comments/questions:
Strategy 1.2 Action 1 – I understand the background driving this, but I’m unclear exactly what the action here is. If…[Read more]-

Interpretation and Education (Recommendations 19 and 20) 1 month agoComments and questions for the Draft Interp Strategic Plan:
p. 6. Strategy 1.2, Action 1: would someone explain this proposed action in more detail? Would the end result of this be changing from VS staff from the 0025 series to 0401?
p. 8 Strategy 3.5, Action 1: strongly support this! There are great opportunities to increase capacity for staff…[Read more]

Thanks so much for your comments Jennifer! The thought behind the series-change is to find a way to recruit folks who have the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to create and deliver interpretive programs and products. There are no (as OPM calls them) ‘positive education requirements’ for the park ranger series. In our agency, to be a…[Read more]

Interpretation and Education (Recommendations 19 and 20) 1 month, 2 weeks agoJust read the draft strategic plan and I think it is right on the mark! I took an NAI course a few years ago (as a biologist who was new to the Visitor Services thing) and have found it to be just about THE most valuable training I have ever taken. I’m really pleased to see this focus on interp going forward. I also agree with Meredith that we…[Read more]
