History of ARCS
Astronomy Resources Connecting Schools (ARCS) began as an Illinois Mathematics and Science Partnership (IMSP), funded by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). This was a three year professional development program for Illinois teachers in Will County Schools, and other school districts in Illinois.Â
The content themes of the three cycles were:
2005 - 2006 Planets and Moons
2006 - 2007 Sun, Stars, and Stellar Cycles
2007 - 2008 Milky Way, Galaxies and the Cosmos.
