4. Introduction If you are having a really bad day with deadlines breathing down your neck, constant phone calls and perhaps a headache, get up and go to one of your classes – see how everyone is so engrossed in learning and at the same time having fun….it will change your outlook and you can go back to work feeling good about what you are doing. Cathy Rampley
5. What types of educational programming do we offer? Our Mission Filoli is dedicated to the preservation, interpretation and stewardship of the cultural traditions and natural history of this country estate for public education and enjoyment “ We endeavor to ensure that our programs, including the support of research, involve and broaden learning.” – Filoli Strategic Plan, Adopted May 2004.

8. How can we grow? Do what you can do well. Don’t try to plan a class on something you have absolutely no knowledge of. Pick the brain of your curator or garden manager. He or she can provide you valuable information about your collection, what is being talked about in the world of conservation/horticulture, what other types of programs are out there and their experiences with them and most importantly, what can your institution support by way of collections, historical information, staff and or trained volunteers. We make every effort to preserve the landscape and conserve the collections and do not alter the property in ways that would diminish its character and historical significance.“ - Filoli Strategic Plan, May 2004. Historic and Conservation Programming National Trust and Historic Preservation Property with a historic house and many significant collections

25. How do you find instructors? What is your policy for staff and volunteers attending classes? What is your marketing plan for classes and other educational programs? (Do you print a catalog, in what format, what info is included, how often do you print a new catalog, who do you mail it to, etc.) What trends have you seen recently in popularity of classes? (Subject matter, style of teaching, etc.) How do you use your website for adult education? How do use social media at your institution, specifically for adult education? (Which applications--Facebook, Twitter, etc. How do you measure success? What works and doesn't work?) Do you offer online classes? (What applications--Moodle, Sakai, etc. Which classes work online and how do you create a worthy substitute to hands-on learning? Who administers these classes?)
