Sharing this resource from AGO colleague Melissa Smith, who supports the Gallery Guide program and has pulled together valuable pedagogy and teaching tools that will guide her program moving forward. It’s important to recognize how change is being introduced throughout the Gallery, so sharing here. – Holly

It’s been another truly painful moment in our history and I’m sending out love and support to everyone. I am committed as a white privileged person to do better, so I’m sharing a resource I would like everyone to review and spend time with:

Activating Diversity and Inclusion: A Blueprint for Museum Educators as Allies and Change Makers

Let’s take this pause in the program to think about how we can all do more. Please reach out if you have any ideas you want to share that I can help implement.

I will be working closely with the Inclusion, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility Committee and our Public Programming and Learning Department for next steps, as well. – Melissa Smith

Let’s build real change and a better future together!
