What happens at a Project ASTRO training workshop?
The two-day ASTRO workshops are held in the summer or early fall at each site. The astronomers and educators attend the workshop together and learn about inquiry-based astronomy teaching, forming effective partnerships, and making use of local and national astronomy resources. A key component of each workshop is guiding the partners through several hands-on astronomy activities from beginning to end. New resources and other useful materials are provided and participants are offered guidance in planning their series of classroom visits. Partners develop a program that fits their own interests, strengths, and students’ needs.
