ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

We (The Franklin Institute and GSUSA) developed an NSF-funded 
national initiative to promote child-adult collaborative science 
learning called Girls At the Center (GAC).  The Institute for 
Learning Innovation evaluated the program.  The question I liked best 
- derived from a conversation at the time with someone at the Tucson 
Children's Museum - was used with adults and proved very informative. 
"What did you learn about the child you came with today."  Responses 
were rich and really captured the socio-cultural nature of their 
experience.
