Subject: Facilitating the Framework symposium
DEAR FOLKS,
WE ARE TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT OUR UPCOMING SYMPOSIUM. PLEASE
FEEL FREE TO POST THE ANNOUNCEMENT AND PASS IT ON TO OTHER SITES AS
APPROPRIATE. THANKS
================================================
To: Museums working on exhibit projects related to state science
curriculum frameworks or the National Science Standards, or teachers
working with museums on such projects.
The EXPLORATORIUM is planning a symposium for the Fall of 1997 as part of
its NSF-sponsored project, "Facilitating the Framework: Developing a Model
Museum Program to Facilitate Science Education Reform in the Schools." The
symposium will address issues surrounding the development of interactive
exhibits and related support materials to bridge the gap between formal
school curricula and informal museum exhibitions including:
--using museum exhibitions to support science education reform in schools,
--benefits and challenges of teacher/museum collaborations in exhibition
development and programming,
--developing theme-based exhibits for teachers and their students,
--designing exhibits for school-based vs. public audiences.
We'd like to hear about your projects, your interest in attending the
symposium, and other issues you'd like to see discussed at the symposium.
Our planning deadline is June 15, so please respond ASAP to:
