Author(s): A. Gwynn Henderson; M. Jay Stottman; Linda S. Levstik

Summary
Archaeologists have long been interested in developing and providing archaeology-based educational resources to teachers for use in the classroom, but they have spent significantly less attention on evaluating resource effectiveness. Evaluation was a key component in the development of "Investigating a Shotgun House,"one ofthe newest case studies in the Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter curriculum. This paper will discuss a pilot program conducted during the development of "Investigating a Shotgun House," why evaluation was an important part of the development process, how changes were implemented based on evaluation results, and what we learned about how teachers teach and students learn.
