The project will build on prior successful work and:1) Explore extending the applicability of its criteria for evaluating materials to the elementary school level and to a greater variety of topics.2) Produce a set of interrelated on-line databases of instructional components -- research summaries, representations, phenomena and questions/tasks that developers can use to creat K-12 goals-based textbooks and other materials that focus on important ideas and skills in science, mathematics and technology. It is anticpated that these databases will also be valuable to practicing teachers (this component forming the basis for Project inservice programs) and to those designing preservice courses.3) Create an expanded set of conceptual strand maps portraying students' growth of understanding for important topics such as weather and climate, basic functions of living things, energy conservation, and electricity and magnetism; and4) Create professional development workshop plans and presentation materials designed particularly for curriculum materials developers and educators responsible for evaluating and selecting textbooks.In addition, a new component to the initiative will:Design strategies and create materials to help parents, decision-makers, and the public in general to understand basic scientific literacy. This component will include the Conover Miller Group/Global Strategy Group who will conduct public opinion/market research polls and develop a strategic communications plan. The Project will produce a customized website that links the resources of AAAS with other organizations such as the NSTA, NRC and the Annenberg/CPB Project to help teachers and parents increase their understanding of the important issues related to science education. This component will encourage teachers and parents to become more actively involved in their state's efforts to improve science education.

该项目将以先前成功的工作为基础，并：1)探索将其评估材料标准的适用性扩展到小学水平和更广泛的主题。2)建立一套相互关联的教学组件在线数据库——研究总结、表征、现象和问题/任务，开发人员可以使用这些数据库来创建基于K-12目标的教科书和其他材料，这些材料关注科学、数学和技术方面的重要思想和技能。预计这些数据库对在职教师（这是构成在职项目基础的组成部分）和设计职前课程的教师也很有价值。3)创建一套扩展的概念链图，描绘学生对重要主题的理解增长，如天气和气候，生物的基本功能，节能，电力和磁力；4)创建专业发展研讨会计划和演示材料，特别为课程材料开发人员和负责评估和选择教科书的教育工作者设计。此外，该计划的一个新组成部分将是：设计策略和制作材料，以帮助家长、决策者和公众了解基本的科学素养。这一组成部分将包括康诺弗·米勒集团/全球战略集团，他们将进行舆论/市场调查，并制定战略传播计划。该项目将制作一个定制的网站，将美国科学促进会的资源与其他组织（如NSTA、NRC和Annenberg/CPB项目）联系起来，以帮助教师和家长增加他们对科学教育相关重要问题的理解。这部分内容将鼓励教师和家长更积极地参与本州改善科学教育的努力。
