Please...informal learning, library, museum, zoo, aquarium, historical site, science center folks:

Invest in the personnel, effort, and time to thoroughly develop not only your goals, outcomes, and processes, but the implications of them - all of this reveals your values.

Relatedly, stop putting this (rarely done) work on grant writers and/or interns.

Signed,

I don't know what to do about this, other than to give very clear and direct comments.

Why does the field stay like this, despite focused, incremental movements to change? So many of us know it doesn't have to be like this and that is not sustainable!

I'm truly interested.
