News PEAR Impact
After two years of preparation, planning and curriculum development, PEAR launched a significant initiative in October. PEAR Impact is an innovative consultation, training and certification program. School and afterschool leadership staff are participating in this two-year train-the-trainer course that simultaneously helps reorganize the system of student support in each setting. 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 (www.pearweb.org/atis) now! |
