ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** Please post on the ISEN-ASTC-L Listserv Thank you. ______________ Dear Collogue, The Astronomical Society of the Pacific and National Optical Astronomy Observatories and other partners would like a few minutes of your time to help us serve you better! We received funding from the National Science Foundation to develop and offer comprehensive training and educational materials for small and medium size nature and science centers¹ staff and volunteers. The training and materials aim to increase understanding of basic astronomy concepts and to help informal science educators effectively translate cutting-edge astronomy discoveries in the news. To access the survey, please visit http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=181771029388. To make sure this project meets your needs, we need some information from you in your function as informal science educator, whether or not you currently include astronomy in your educational programming. If you complete the survey by May 4th, your name will be entered to win a signed copy of Learning from Museums: Visitor Experiences and the Making of Meaning by John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking. With thanks for your interest and assistance, Michael Bennett (ASP) Stephen Pompea (NOAO) If you have questions about the survey, or the project please do not reply to this email, but feel free to contact Christina de Leon at the ASP, by email: [log in to unmask] or phone: (415) 337-1100 x101.
