ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************
Dear colleagues,
An Inquiry Group working under the auspices of the Center for
Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) is looking to catalog
efforts that make informal science education experiences more inclusive
of people with disabilities. Founded in 2008 with support from the
National Science Foundation (NSF), CAISE works across the informal
science education (ISE) field to gather and communicate evidence of the
contributions of informal science education and to offer professional
development opportunities for those working with and seeking NSF support.
If you or your institution has been working to increase access to
science education for people with disabilities through informal
learning, we would appreciate it if you would be willing to fill out our
on-line survey: http://tinyurl.com/Access-Survey
The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Please
provide as much information as you can about the project, but do not
feel that you need to answer all of the questions. We would rather
receive some information from a lot of projects than detailed accounts
from a small number of projects. This will help CAISE, and everyone in
the informal science education field, to become aware of the good work
you have been doing—and, of equal importance, the challenges you
encountered.
Please forward this email to anyone you know who is working to increase
access to informal science learning for people with disabilities.
Thank you for your help. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Christine Reich, Museum of Science, Boston
Ellen Rubin, New York
Jeremy Price, Boston College
Mary Ann Steiner, University of Pittsburgh
