Since 1984, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) has sponsored a quarterly newsletter on teaching astronomy in grades 3-12. Cosponsored by the American Astronomical Society, the Canadian Astronomical Society, and the International Planetarium Society, the project now reaches over 20,000 teachers and schools in the US and Canada.

We would like colleagues overseas to examine the newsletter, and, if they find it useful, to consider translating and distributing it. We will be glad to make it available without charge to anyone who is interested.

Since 1978, the summer meetings of the ASP — held in a different city each year — have featured one to three days set aside for workshops on astronomy for teachers. In recent years, between 150 and 200 teachers have come each summer— at their own expense — to take these credit workshops and learn more about astronomical topics, activities, and resources.
