The Scopes for Schools program is a low-cost, field-tested model for physicists and astronomers to conduct outreach, curriculum development, and teacher professional development in astronomy. The program is aimed at minority and other underserved students (but all students may participate), with an emphasis on curriculum development and on professional development for teachers. Teacher participants benefit from:
inservice workshops which enhance astronomy content knowledge, and pedagogical content knowledge;
curriculum materials (activities) and hardware (telescopes and digital cameras) for bringing hands-on astronomy to the classroom; and
a long-term partnership with University scientists for ongoing curriculum and pedagogical development. itemize Student participants benefit from astronomy activities that are inquiry- and standards-based, and from a hands-on experience building and using telescopes and digital cameras.
