谁是讲解员?

Docents are trained 志愿者 who engage Museum guests through the sharing of natural history and conservation stories to foster a better understanding and appreciation of the Sonoran Desert region and empower people to live in better harmony with the natural world. Docents are adults of all ages, walks of life and educational backgrounds. There are currently close to 200 Docents who volunteer twice a month or more at the Museum.

讲师的职责

A Docent’s primary responsibility is interpretation on the Museum grounds. 这种解说包括带队游览, presenting the materials at education carts around grounds, 回答有关展品的问题, 支持博物馆特别活动, 处理活体动物供公众展示. Docents are also expected to provide excellent customer service to all guests, det365娱乐官网的志愿者和员工. 一个成功的讲解员是友好的, 适应性强的, 能自如地与不同群体的人交流, 舒适地与孩子互动, and excited to introduce people to the wonders of the natural world.

While we are not currently accepting applications for a new Docent Class, it is important to understand that the training process for becoming a docent is quite rigorous. For your reference we have included below a summary of the training procedures from our latest Docent Class:

The 2022-2023 Docent Training Class consisted of two mandatory classes per week on Wednesdays and Saturdays and began on October 22, 2022年,1月21日结束, 2023. Classes were not held during the week of Thanksgiving (November 20-26, 也不是12月的最后两周(18-31日), 2022). 然而, Docent Trainees were welcomed and encouraged to spend time at the Museum during these weeks to advance their training through individualized study and practice with a Docent Mentor.

Classes on Wednesdays took place at the 亚利桑那-索诺拉det365娱乐官网 and lasted approximately 3-4 小时. These classes were filmed and posted online so Docent Trainees unable to attend the Wednesday classes in-person were still able to participate in the program by viewing the trainings on an internet-connected device at home. Trainees watching the videos of the Wednesday trainings were expected to have completed their viewing by the Saturday of that same week.

Saturday classes took place at the 亚利桑那-索诺拉det365娱乐官网 and lasted 5 小时 (on average). 有三节全天的课(上午8点).m. – 4:00 p.m.),分别于22年10月22日、22年11月19日和22年1月14日举行. There were no at-home alternatives to the Saturday classes and Trainees were not allowed to miss more than three (3) of the Saturday sessions. Missing a Saturday session would require that time to be made up with mentoring at the Museum on a future date.

除了花在课堂上的时间, Docent Trainees were expected to complete homework assignments which included mandatory readings, 准备演讲, 并编写示例旅游和解释. Docent Trainees were also required to complete at least 24 小时 of apprenticeship under the guidance of Docent Mentors by March 1, 2023. These apprenticeship 小时 were scheduled on the days and times that worked best for each Trainee. 在学徒期结束时, each Docent Trainee presented a “final project” which consisted of leading a 30-min. tour on Museum grounds following a theme of their choosing and development.

而未来的培训班日期, times and expectations may differ from this previous class, we hope that this helps you to better understand what is required of our Docent Trainees. We will post updated information about training dates, etc. 当澳门det365准备好接受新的讲解员时.
