Designed upon request to meet specific needs and situations of museums, schools, and elsewhere. For example, a museum might request a docent training, help in redesigning its school partnership, or an introduction to VTS for educators in its community. An individual school might want an implementation conducted by VUE trainers. These services and workshops vary from a few hours to several days, and the cost for each is dependent on length and the VUE staff needed.

Three-day workshops focused on developing VTS facilitation skills. Beginning/ intermediate level is for people who have had little or no exposure and minimal experience. Advanced level is for those who have attended other workshops and been practicing VTS for some time. While some time is allotted to examining theoretical underpinnings of VTS, the focus is helping participants learn to do VTS well.

Two four-day workshops, separated by the first year of implementing VTS, designed to prepare teams of two or (preferably) three “mentor teachers” to return to their schools to introduce VTS, coordinate implementation by their teacher colleagues, and conduct intermittent debriefings, all in consultation with VTS experts.
