In this collection of 15 essays, educators describe successful programs they've developed to fulfill the US National Science Education Standards' vision for the reform of teaching assessment, professional development, and content at the high school level. All the visions correspond with the Less Emphasis and More Emphasis conditions that conclude each section of the Standards, characterizing what most teachers and programs should do less of as well as describing the changes needed if real reform is to occur. Essay titles reveal the range of programs, and creativity, this book encompasses. Among the titles are: "Technology and Cooperative Learning: The IIT Model for Teaching Authentic Chemistry Curriculum," "Modeling: Changes in Traditional Physics Instruction," "Guided by the Standards: Inquiry and Assessment in Two Rural and Urban Schools," and even "Sing and Dance Your Way to Science Success." The book ends with a summary chapter by editor Robert Yager on successes and continuing challenges in meeting the Standards' visions for improving high school science. As Yager notes, "The exemplary programs described in this monograph give inspiration while also providing evidence that the new directions are feasible and worth the energy and effort needed for others to implement changes.

A majority of states are now involved in developing, revising, and implementing state frameworks in mathematics, science, and other core subjects. The Council of Chief State School Officers completed a one-year study of 60 current state curriculum frameworks in mathematics and science. The purposes of this study were to define and describe state mathematics and science curriculum frameworks, evaluate the role of frameworks in systemic reform, and assist states with development of new frameworks. Chapters in this report reflect key aspects of the design of the study, including: (1) a survey of states to identify frameworks and collect information about state context; (2) a content analysis of key elements of the frameworks using definitions and categories developed in the study; and (3) a qualitative review of specific aspects of recent frameworks by teams of experts. The value of frameworks is as follows: one-half of frameworks link content to teacher professional development; frameworks can provide a rationale for use of technology and tools in classrooms; frameworks can help explain an approach to systemic reform; and frameworks can assist schools in evaluating curriculum organization and resources. Appendices include Elements for Analyzing State Curriculum Frameworks, Definitions of Categories and Concepts for Conceptual Mapping of State Frameworks, Questions for a Qualitative Analysis of State Frameworks in Mathematics and Science, and Sample Vignettes. Contains 34 references. (MKR)
