NEW!!!!

PEAR IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE A SEARCHABLE DATABASE OF ASSESSMENT TOOLS FOR INFORMAL SCIENCE PROGRAMMING!!!

The ATIS – Assessment Tools in Informal Science – Website is a new resource for evaluating science programming in museums, schools, afterschool and summer programs.  ATIS was developed based on recommendations from a PEAR report funded by the Noyce Foundation. In a yearlong study, PEAR conducted an extensive critical review of available assessment resources. ATIS is the product of this report; a resource designed to help practitioners, evaluators, researchers and policymakers understand and select appropriate tools to assess the quality of science learning and child outcomes in out-of-school time programs.

Find descriptions, ratings and reviews for informal science assessment tools! Explore ATIS (http://atis.pearweb.org/) now!
