Last reminder -

As an informal educator or interpreter, what are your resource and professional development needs? 

NASA’s Informal Education Working Group has developed a survey to assess the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics resource and professional development needs of informal educators. The results of the survey will help NASA's Science Mission
Directorate Education and Public Outreach community better meet those needs and plan future opportunities for the informal education community.

The survey was designed with the following definitions of informal educators and informal education in mind: Informal educators offer children and adults learning opportunities outside of formal schooling. Informal education is learning that is
voluntary, self-directed, motivated by personal needs and interests, and provided by a variety of organizations, such as museums, after school settings, parks, libraries, and other settings. For the purposes of this survey, interpretation is considered a
particular methodology of informal education and therefore, interpreters are welcome to respond to the survey.

The survey will take 10 to 15 minutes to complete: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/InformalEd

Thank you, in advance, for your time! The survey will be open through Friday, November 15, 2013. Please share this information with informal education colleagues and contacts. Apologies for cross-postings.


***The results of this survey will be shared with the informal education community as a thank you for the wonderful number of survey responses we have received so far. The mechanism for sharing the report is yet to be determined, but when it is
available, information will be posted to this list-serv.***
