ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We have a fairly new (3 years old) program in which museum educators bring
ten hands-on lessons to schools and spend 1 hour a week co-teaching those
lessons with the classroom teacher.  The lessons topics are chosen by a
combination of teacher perceived need, administration perceived need and
student test scores.

I am trying to find out how many other museums have programs like this and
if they have done any research/evaluation to verify the impact on both
student performance and teacher value.
