Local art museums make varying levels of commitment to VTS programs. At best, museums

• Schedule visits for VTS classes, ideally in Grades 3-5, but at least for Grades 4-5, to be led by teachers unless staff instructors are available.

• Train docents and/or staff in the VTS method to assist with class visits, splitting groups with classroom teachers in the case of large groups

• Schedule docent visits to schools to observe classes, meet teachers and students, and establish a relationship with teacher/class before museum visit

• Help teachers plan museum visits, including logistics, routes, and object selection

• Act as host for meetings and trainings for school administrators and teachers

• Help publicize, fund, and coordinate local VTS program
