Multipaper Session 458 Independent Consulting: Selected Issues and Strategies Friday Nov 13 9:15 to 10:45 am Based on case studies, presents an opportunity of how data were shared across two clients -- both informal science institutions offering programs with similar goals yet directed to different target audiences. Relevant because patterns of teaching attitudes toward science were very similar for pre-service and experienced in-service teachers perhaps suggesting a behavior that may be resistant to change or formed early in one's carreer and then sustained. Recent and frequent professional development hours in science may begin to modify these attitudes but attitude differences may be difficult to detect in the short term. #Evaluation2009 #IndependentConsulting #2009Conference
