hi,

Three years ago, we developed a similar program here at the California
Science Center. It, too, is called Pathways. It is free and all materials
are available on our website. We have gotten a good response. Data from one
of our recent evaluations of the program was published in ASTC Dimensions in
January.

I was the primary developer on the project. I would be happy to talk to you
about it further.

Hello all -
I am researching the use of self-directed exhibit guides for school
field trip groups. Our program, Pathways, is designed to provide a
"focused field trip" experience, including pre-visit, museum
exhibit-based, and post-visit activities that explore specific state
science curriculum objectives. If you offer a similar program, is it
free or fee based? What kind of response have you received from
teachers? Is there a high rate of participation? Thank you for your
consideration.
