Astronomers and Teachers as Partners in Learning
The New Mexico Museum of Space History and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific are partnered to bring Project ASTRO-NM to you. The program is a national effort to pair a classroom teacher in grades 3-12, with a professional, amateur, or graduate student astronomer.
The program connects teachers and astronomers to improve astronomy education. Selected teachers and astronomers come together in a workshop and learn to become equal partners; teachers provide the educational expertise, while the astronomers provide the astronomical knowledge. The partners receive 14 hours of training and learn how to collaborate so that everyone touched by the program benefits from the experience.
