We invite you to explore the Assessment Tools in Informal Science (ATIS) website – http://www.pearweb.org/atis, developed by the Program in Education, Afterschool and Resiliency (PEAR) at Harvard University. On ATIS you can download tools to use at your informal science programs or for research purposes. You can also suggest other tools and resources to be included on the site.
We are currently looking to get your comments and reviews on the assessment tools posted on ATIS.
WE HAVE GIFT CARDS FOR ACCEPTABLE REVIEWS!
The first 50 people submitting an acceptable tool review will be awarded Amazon gift cards. Gift card amounts depend on the number of provided reviews.
For details, and to review a tool, please visit ATIS- http://pearweb.org/atis/tools/jump. The instruction of the contest can be found here: http://pearweb.org/atis/dashboard/contest.
We encourage you to forward this request for reviews to other colleagues and students, who you believe would have an interest in making a contribution to this work. It is important for us to create a dialogue between developers and users of STEM assessment tools in informal settings. Having ongoing comments and reviews will help all of us create meaningful tools and a thriving community.
