Until now there has been no manual available which addresses the key issues
involved in teaching interpretation to others.

The Interpretive Training Handbook fills this gap. It distils the
experience of one of the world's leading interpretive trainers, John
Veverka, and is based on his training techniques and exercises developed
over three decades, and currently used in his university level
interpretation training courses.

Designed for use with a wide range of specialist staff - including
interpretors, educators, designers, curators, gallery "explainers", guides
and volunteers - in museums, galleries, science centres, historic houses
and sites, parks, zoos and commercial tours, the book includes sample
pre-and post-test "exams" that let you check if your training is actually
working.

The techniques presented in the book are proven to work in illustrating
interpretive concepts and principles. They are supplemented by a wealth of
forms, checklists, exercises, worksheets, lesson plans and teaching aids
designed to be freely copied and used.
