Writing Performance Objectives

Utah Museum of Natural History
School Program & IDET Project
Junior Science Academy, Grades 4 & 5

Project Goal:
JSA would benefit from resources that can help teachers and parents prepare for their field trip with their students. These resources would:
1) Make clear the expectations UMNH has of teachers and parents attending JSA classes.
2) Provide guidelines for teachers and parents that outline ways in which they can effectively facilitate learning in the small groups they are assigned.
3) Include pre-visit, visit and post-visit communications to ensure expectations are clear prior to arriving at the museum and during the class. We also want to express appropriate appreciation after the visit.
4) Be accessible via the web with downloadable materials available for parents who may not have Internet access.
