Beryl,
The National Science Teachers Association has a nice position statement
about informal education that is very quotable for grant purposes. You can
find it at http://nsta.org/positionstatement&psid=13. You might also cite
NSTA's Strategy 2005 Goals document
(http://nsta.org/main/pdfs/2006EpacketStrategy.pdf) which includes
"Implement strategies to connect informal science education to the
instructional
needs of teachers of science" as an objective under the goal to "Improve
Student Learning by Supporting and Enhancing Science Teaching".

Hi all,
I am seeking references that address how informal learning supports
formal learning. I've already hit the usual suspects (Hein's
Learning in the Museum, Falk & Dierking's Museum Experience, etc).
Just wondering if there is something else i may have forgotten, or
frankly, something more recent. Yes, i need it for a grant. Yes i
need the reference by today.
Thanks,
Beryl
