Rewatch or view the presentation on the virtual information session on ANSM’s new TRACK program.
The TRACK program will use a hybrid-model (training and assessment) to build on the success of the Museum Evaluation Program (MEP) with the addition of increased focus on coaching, identifying needs, and providing more capacity building.
Many museums identified the value of original MEP in helping them update their standards of operation and guiding them on how to become stronger, more engaged organizations.
The new program will expand beyond museum standards to include EDI, accessibility, responding to climate change, and addressing more community needs. This program will continue to be operated by ANSM who will contract additional professionals to provide content specific training and advice. Museums participating should notice a decrease in work required to participate and improved capacity building though an increase in training resources provided and a more personalized approach.
We encourage you to read the letter of support from CCTH for more information.
Museums will continue to build on the success of the MEP with improved museum practices. Due to the reduced resources required to prepare for this new program, museums will have more resources and increased capacity to focus on issues such as EDI, accessibility, responding to climate change, and responding to community needs. Museums will also see an approach that is more responsive to their individual needs.
ANSM will continue to lead this work with the support of its working group (MEPWG) and approval from CCTH. Museums, and specifically NSM sites who are scheduled to be evaluated this summer, are anticipating an announcement about the new program in March 2022.
