Dear Lincoln Parent – The InSciEd Out team is pulling together a number of metrics to use to evaluate the progress and impact the new science curriculum has had on students in grades K-5. We are collecting parent comments and observations on how the new science curriculum modules have impacted their Lincoln student. We are hoping you would be willing to share your comments and observations with us. We are hoping to use these parent comments in a power point/conference call we have next Tuesday with Michael Lach, advisory on STEM initiatives to the U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan.
We would like to keep this as open ended as possible so that we can get your genuine feedback about the impact of InSciEd Out, but some questions you might want to think about include:
- Is your child excited about learning science?
- Does your child want to do science activities at home or outside school?
- Is your child talking about science at home? Is your child eager to share what they are doing and learning in science?
- Do you feel that your child is learning science? Why or why not?
- Do you feel that your child's overall performance at school has been impacted by the new science curriculum?
- How does the science your child is learning at Lincoln compare to the science you learned when you are in school?
- How has InSciEd Out affected the learning environment at Lincoln?
Any observations you have about InSciEd Out and your child's Lincoln experience are welcome. Please email them to me at natecate13@charter.net as soon as you can, as we are pulling together the power point this weekend and on Monday. Also feel free to pass this on to any K-5 parent you think might want to add their feedback!
Thanks for your assistance –
Cathy Nathan natecate13@charter.net
