45. Astronomy Education For this reason I am a member of the The Association for astronomy education, a member of the Education Committee of the Royal Astronomical Society, http://www.star.ucl.ac.uk/~iac/education.html

Astronomy Education I am personally committed to the teaching of astronomy and planetary science, and to the public understanding of science generally. I believe that researchers ought actively to contribute to the teaching of their subject at all levels, and I have experience of teaching astronomy and planetary science at university (undergraduate and postgraduate), adult evening classes, and secondary and primary schools. I am currently teaching the Geology of the Solar System course for Birkbeck College, and two courses: Geology of Planetary Bodies and Introduction to Astrobiology , for University College London. I regard inspiring school children with the wonders of astronomy as particularly important, both as an integral part of science education and because I think important social and political consequences follow from a proper understanding of the cosmic perspective . For this reason I am a member of the The Association for Astronomy Education , under the auspices of which I have compiled a list of professional astronomers who are prepared to give school talks . I have outlined the rationale behind this initiative in ``Wanderers in space: the case for peripatetic astronomy teachers,''

Astronomy Education: A Global Perspective John Percy Division of Sciences University of Toronto Mississauga, Ontario, Canada percy@astro.utoronto.ca Planetarian , September 1995 Planetarians are part of a worldwide network of astronomy educators-"kindred spirits" in the communication of astronomy. This network includes planetarians in other countries, and also educators and astronomers (both professional and amateur) working in other settings but sharing the same goals. This article is written from my perspective as president of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Commission on the Teaching of Astronomy. Introduction Why, then, is astronomy so often the "poor cousin" in the school science curriculum? The same problems and issues seem to occur all over the world: (i) few teachers, especially at the elementary level, have any training in astronomy; (ii) teachers think that astronomy must be technical and mathematical, and requires elaborate teaching equipment; (iii) simple, inexpensive, "hands-on" activities are needed-preferably ones which get around the problem that "the stars come out at night, the students don't; (iv) inappropriate teaching techniques fail to overcome students' ingrained misconceptions about physical and astronomical phenomena; (v) many students (especially girls) are turned off science at an early age; (vi) scientific illiteracy is widespread among students and the public. Current Developments in the US The results of these efforts will soon be available to astronomy educators around the world. In order to facilitate this process, to co-ordinate the next phase of development of astronomy education, and to ensure that present efforts meet the needs of all students, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific is holding a major symposium on astronomy education on June 24-25, 1995 at the University of Maryland. The proceedings of this conference should be the definitive guide to astronomy education in the US.

Guests include: Dr. Michelle Thaller - Research Scientist at the California Institute of Technology and Manager of the Spitzer Educational Public Outreach Program Some background info on Michelle can be found here Dr. Timothy Slater - Astronomy Education Guru from the University of Arizona Some background info on Tim can be found here . More can be found on the Caper Team site A complete workshop agenda is available here This event is open to local high school and college astronomy and physics instructors who register in advance. You may register by email or by phone at 402-472-3686. There is no cost for the workshop and all instructional materials will be provided. Continental breakfast and lunch are also provided. Attendees should park in the Stadium Drive Parking Garage (free on week-ends) which is immediately southwest of the stadium. You are then about 2 blocks from Avery Hall which is immediately southeast of the stadium. Both Avery Hall and the Stadium Drive Parking Garage can be found on the following
