Here’s another useful link: http://www.sterrenkundeopschool.nl/
Maybe there we can bring the galaxy zoo under the attention of the dutch astro-teachers.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to introduce GZ at teacher training institutes?

That sounds logical indeed. I need more experience on secondary schools…

No, you’re right. ANW isn’t for primary schools. It’s belonging to the second grade schools, specially ‘VWO’.

Thanks for the links Arie! I’ve never seen that on my schedule though. For most primary schools it could be part of ‘Wereld Oriëntatie’.

In the Netherlands astronomy is part of the curriculum in the the discipline of ANW (Algemene Natuurwetenschap, translated as General Physics Science). Maybe somehow the GZ-project, with the group-session tool, can be made part of the ANW-curriculum. See http://www.sterrenkunde.nl/anw/ for more info. Teachers who practise astronomy as part of ANW can be foudn here: http://www.phys.uu.nl/~eaae/.
