1. Lunar Workshops for Educators 2013
Lunar Workshops for Educators are week-long professional development workshops designed for grade 6–9 science teachers, sponsored by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO).
Thirty teachers from 10 U.S. states and 2 countries participated in 2 workshops held at NASA GSFC in the summer of 2013.
An in-person workshop follow-up occurred in November 2013, and a workshop evaluation report were prepared by an external evaluator. Survey responses from teacher participants are included below.
“This is a fantastic workshop! Thank you for not just teaching content but also modeling great teaching practice. It’s extremely helpful as I think through how to apply these concepts in my classroom.”
“Today was great – experiences that we could not get from a textbook, distance learning, or an off-site NASA course.”
“I am so much more fired up and comfortable with this topic and I now have more resources to look for extra information if I need it!”
“The detail, professionalism, organization, depth of knowledge, richness of resources, and infectious enthusiasm from all the presenters made this great.”
