Hi Mike,
Benchmarks, standards, strands...we like to think that because we are
museum's we are not tied down by these things. At the Ann Arbor Hands-On
Museum we have the most information on our website at:
http://www.aahom.org/educators/index.htm. We have a link to the entire
Michigan Curriculum Framework (all 236 pages!) as well as what
individual programs link up with. In our teacher professional
development activities we list on each individual activity write-up what
benchmarks are hit. 
Hope this info helps a little. Good luck with your project!

Aloha,

 

We're working on revisions to our educator's guide at Bishop Museum in
Hawaii.  The guide will list all of our onsite programs for school
groups.  It will also list our cultural outreach and science outreach
programs to the schools.

 

Question: how much information do you provide in your education guides
regarding content standards and benchmarks?  Do you provide a general
guideline?  A specific benchmark and reference?  Something in between?

 

How much of this sort of information in provided in your general guide,
and how much do you provide either through your web pages or through
ancillary material (guides that are specific to each program, for
example).

 

Reply separately or to the whole list if you would.
