Planning and Implementation for Change in Scope, Sequence, and Coordination of Secondary Science

美国国家科学教师协会建议采取措施，在美国中学科学教育的范围、顺序和协调方面进行重大改革。这项努力的第一步是举行三次会议，以确定这项改革的框架。第一次会议是由来自科学教育、科学和工程组织的15-20名领导人参加的预案会议。这个小组将讨论与改变中学科学教学相关的机会和问题。该小组将制定第二次会议的议程，战略会议将于7月召开，说。有大约100名与会者参加的战略会议将获得广泛支持，并为重组二级科学制定一项实施计划。会议还将确定开始改革努力的试点地点。会议记录将广泛分发。第三次会议是项目规划会议，约有15人参加，其中包括将作为试点地点的每个学区的教育官员。这次会议将确定从1989-90年试点地区开始的组织改革的议程和计划。所有三次会议都将得到彻底的记录和评估。成本分担--16,025美元，或本项目总成本的15%。

The National Science Teachers Association proposes to initiate steps to produce a major reform in the scope, sequence, and coordination of secondary science education in the United States. The first step in this endeavor is to conduct three meetings which will determine the framework for this reform. The first meeting is the Preplanning Meeting of 15-20 leaders from science education, scientific, and engineering organizations. This group will address the opportunities and problems associated with a change in secondary science instruction. The group will establish the agenda for the second meeting, the Strategy Conference, which will convene in July, 1989. The Strategy Conference, of approximately 100 participants, will garner broad support and establish an implementation plan for the reorganization of secondary science. The Conference will also identify pilot sites to begin the reform effort. Conference proceedings will be widely distributed. The third meeting is the Project Planning Meeting which will consist of approximately 15 participants including education officials from each of the school districts which will serve as pilot sites. This meeting will set the agenda and plans for organizational reform beginning with the pilot districts in 1989-90. All three meetings will be thoroughly documented and evaluated. Cost sharing--$16,025 or 15% of the total cost of this project.
