The Field Museum/MSED High School Transformation Project (HSTP)
With more than 200 scientists working across the globe, The Field Museum stands at the forefront of scientific research. This research leads to a better understanding of the world in which we all live, and it serves as an educational resource for all peoples, especially local communities. The Museum is an extension of the classroom, one that will contribute to the IIT/Field Museum Instructional Development System in a variety of ways. Each of the new curricula developed by the IIT/Field Museum team includes specific links to Field Museum resources, such as award-winning exhibitions, programs, and materials that enhance classroom learning. The Museum offers an incredible array of resources that can be used by the IDS teachers to not only educate, but also to inspire.
