I. CCMS
Researchers Share Their Work
at 2005 Conferences
The faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and
graduate students of the Center for
Curriculum Materials in Science (CCMS)
have been busy sharing their work at
conferences this year. Their research aims to support high-quality
science curriculum materials by examining
questions related to curriculum materials
for all children, teacher learning and
educative materials, the curriculum development
process, assessment, and policy. Learn

II. Supporting Goals-Based
Learning with STEM Outreach
In a recent article in the Journal of STEM Education, AAAS Project
2061 recommends strategies and resources that can be used by members of the scientific
community to enhance science, mathematics, and technology content for students
in kindergarten through grade 6. Read more.
III. Now Online: Resources
for Science Literacy: Professional
Development
In response to requests from members of the science education community,
Project 2061 has made its publication Resources for Science Literacy:
Professional Development (RSL: PD) available online. RSL:
PD offers
a carefully selected collection of workshop activities, research, science
trade books, analyses, and course plans designed to provide educators with
a deeper understanding of how to help their students achieve science literacy.
It also includes valuable comparisons between Benchmarks for Science Literacy and
the National Science Education Standards, so that materials that
have been aligned to one set of learning goals may be more easily investigated
for their alignment to the other.
These resources can be used by higher
education faculty in planning pre-service
teacher education, by school districts
in designing in-service staff development
programs, and by teachers for self-guided
study of the learning goals developed
by Project 2061. Browse RSL: PD online.
