Evaluation Reports

The Nature Museum at Grafton Nature Journaling and Nature Writing Teacher Training Institutes

February 15, 2011 | Public Programs, Professional Development, Conferences, and Networks, Informal/Formal Connections
Since the summer of 2006, the Nature Museum at Grafton (TNM) has been offering three day intensive courses in Nature Writing and Nature Journaling. In 2006-07, TNM worked with PEER Associates to develop and analyze a survey which teachers complete on the last day of their course. TNM has continued to use that evaluation method, and, in December 2008 and February 2010, asked past participants to answer follow up questions about their future interest in programming options, experiences with the institutes, and their implementation of course content in their own classrooms. In late 2010, TNM contacted PEER Associates again to assist with formalizing the participant follow up survey strategy, and to examine their suite of program evaluation activities for these courses.
