Project 2061 Tools,
Introduction
By this point in a workshop, we hope participants will be convinced of both the need and the possibility for meaningful reform in science, mathematics, and technology education. The next task is to describe Project 2061’s strategy and tools for reform.
Your workshop should include at least one option from this section. These options
provide opportunities for participants to find out more about Project 2061’s role in
science education reform over the past decade, its commitment to systemic change, and the
rationale for the development of its tools for education reform. Depending on
participants’ needs and the time available, options can be combined for a longer
background presentation.
Option A: Overview of Project 2061 Tools
Option B: Charting Pathways to Reform
Option C: Project 2061 Reform Principles, Strategy, and Tools
Option D: Features of Science for All Americans and Benchmarks for Science Literacy
Option E: Identifying Benchmarks Strands
Option F: Using Benchmarks on Disk
Option G: Features of Resources for Science Literacy: Professional Development
Option H: Comparison of Benchmarks and National Science Education Standards
Option I: Comparison of Benchmarks and Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics
Option J: Comparison of Benchmarks and Curriculum Standards for Social Studies
