"Board on Science Education, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education; Board on Higher Education and the Workforce, Division of Policy and Global Affairs; National Academy of Engineering; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine."

Developed to help state- and district-level education leaders create coherent, multi-year curriculum programs that provide students with opportunities to learn mathematics and science in a connected and cumulative way throughout their schooling. This book emphasizes the need for designing curricula in the elementary and secondary school.

"Based on the National Research Council report, Learning science in informal environments: people, places and pursuits."

Provides an account of the synthesis of research into teaching and learning science in kindergarten through eighth grade. This book summarizes various findings from the learning sciences and builds cases of science educators at work to make the implications of research for science educators.

ICT Fluency and High Schools: A Workshop Summary

In response to the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), this book explores the ideas and tools that are needed to assess science learning at the state level. It provides an examination of K-12 science assessment looking specifically at what should be measured and how to measure it.

Explores three related questions: how to create measures of undergraduate learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics courses; how such measures be organized into a framework to assess instruction; and how the framework be used at the institutional level to assess the courses and curricula to promote improvements.

What impact does teaching style have? How do I plan a course curriculum? This handbook provides productive approaches to these and several other questions. It provides undergraduate science educators with a path to understanding students, accommodating their individual differences, and helping them grasp the methods - and the wonder - of science.

"Board on Testing and Assessment, and Board on Science Education, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education."

"This workshop summary is based on discussions at a workshop convened by the Board on Science Education (BOSE), in collaboration with the Committee on [the] Human Dimensions of Global Change and the Division on Earth and Life Studies, of the National Research Council (NRC) on October 21 and 22, 2010"--P. vii.

Offers a picture of what we know about teaching and learning science from kindergarten through eighth grade. By looking at a range of questions, this book provides a basic foundation for guiding science teaching and supporting students in their learning. It is helpful for those involved in K-8 science education.
