ABSTRACT
Having made all the plans, completed all preparations and having brought pupils to the correct level of readiness, the day will dawn when actually make the visit. The best way to keep control of the situation, of course, is never to let anything get out of control. If one being taught by museum staff then disciplinary role is expected to be back-up', not interjectory. Let the museum education staff gets on with their job. Although museum staff may undertake to provide various services, even teaching, they must be clear that responsibility for pupils rests ultimately with them and the other adults in their party. The aim is to ensure that pupil and pupil's group benefit fully from their visit while ensuring that other visitors to the museum are not incommoded. Museum education staff can make instant contact with pupils if they know their name. The use of such forms of identification may already be a matter of school policy.
