New USA Science Framework Paves Way for Standards

New USA Science Framework Paves Way for Standards
With the goal of sparking big changes in K-12 science education across the country, an expert panel convened by the National Research Council July 2011 issued a framework to guide the development of new national standards in the subject.
The overarching goal of the framework, the committee said, is to ensure that by the end of 12th grade, all students have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science, the capacity to discuss and think critically about science-related issues, and the skills to pursue careers in science or engineering if they want to do so -- outcomes that existing educational approaches are ill-equipped to achieve.
The framework is the first step in the development of new K-12 science education standards. The framework lays out the broad ideas and practices students should learn and will serve as the basis for specific standards, which will be developed in a process led by a group of states and coordinated by the nonprofit educational organization Achieve Inc. When the standards are finished, states may voluntarily adopt them to guide science education in their public schools.

Project 2061 Science curriculum
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) founded Project 2061 in 1985 to help all Americans become literate in science, mathematics, and technology.
Its work has earned the project a reputation as the "single most visible attempt at science education reform in American history" (Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, 1996). Or, as journalist Julia Steiny recently described it in the Providence Journal, "Project 2061 is the ultimate science project."
