Extractions: Journal of Staff Development, Winter 1999 By Mary Ann Brearton and Susan Shuttleworth "I knew that if there was to be any change in the way that teachers taught science, there had to be a deep change in the philosophy of our staff." This insight from an elementary school teacher reveals both the promise and peril of standards-based education reform. Certainly, clear and specific content standards for K- 12 education can be a powerful catalyst for change in teaching and learning. With high-quality standards in place across the content disciplines, educators can coordinate reform in an education system and focus on improved academic achievement for all students. That is the promise of standards-based reform. For three years, a group of K-12 teachers and administrators in Philadelphia met with Project 2061 staff for up to a month every summer and once a week during the school year. The Philadelphia educators studied Project 2061 benchmarks and ways to apply them in real-world classrooms. Eventually, these educators were ready to conduct similar workshops for other Philadelphia teachers.
Extractions: American Association for the Advancement of Science 1) How students learn the ideas and skills recommended for technological literacy. 2) How to shape instruction to promote student learning of those specific ideas and skills. 3) How to help teachers to use effective instruction. Standards for Technological Literacy and Benchmarks for Science Literacy . Elaboration of research areas follows. They are based on the papers that form the proceedings. Several participants point to specific topics in student learning. McCormick calls attention to problems in learning about systems: how and when children can learn specific ideas about systems. There is an almost complete lack of research on how students learn about system thinking. McCormick also reviews the status of research on problem solving in England where he and his colleagues have found that students follow rigid algorithms reminiscent of the fictional ritual of the scientific method. Rowell suggests that future directions for research should build on critical scrutiny of assumptions underlying technology education and on cognitive and manipulative demands of technological problem solving. Despite the research on design and problem solving, we still do not know how children learn specific ideas about design, trade-offs, constraints, redundancy, etc. The work from England and Canada can illuminate what we are trying to do in America, but this research needs to be adapted and new research needs to be initiated.

Steven Levy If 1995 was The "Year of the Internet" (Newsweek, Jan. 1, 1996), for educators it is quickly becoming the era of information-on-demand and collaboration-at-a-distance. Among the Internet's many resources is the World Wide Web, a global network of information "servers" provided by individuals, organizations, businesses, and federal agencies who are offering documents, data, images, and interactive sessions. For teachers, students, and parents, this means access to information not in textbooks or the local library, fast-breaking news, ideas for lessons and activities, and, best of all, collaboration with others on projects of mutual interest. Here we provide an annotated listing of Web resources relating to environmental education. Though not an exhaustive list of what is available, these sites represent the range of resources, and they are excellent places to begin your own journey through the web of interconnected sites.

Extractions: Nancy Ferguson, Third Grade teacher Angier Elementary School Newton, Massachusetts, U S A Project Overview T hird and fourth grade students will embark on an electronic learning adventure as scientific observers and journalists using a global classroom connected to world events in progress. The main benefit of creating the global classroom is that it can lead to the global school system with each school connected through central equipment at the school , to a world of resources, events and cultures. Teachers familiar with the World Wide Web can bring their own resources to the system and benefit from those brought by others. Standard and innovative curriculum units can be developed or enhanced through the Internet, and the discoveries made in the classroom can be shared with all system users. The Internet is a powerful medium for experiential learning. The effective classroom integration of the full range of on-line technology into daily learning will enhance students' productivity and skills. The Global Classroom project will : Empower its participants to build and manage an interactive magazine across an international network of students.

Extractions: Staff Teaching for Understanding Educators who wish a practical, systematic overview of each element of the TfU framework. All the strands of Project Zero's research that are presented at the Summer Institute can be used to support understanding, but the Teaching for Understanding Framework (TfU) is a comprehensive model designed specifically for that purpose. TfU is a lens that guides educators' decisions so that their instruction will better nurture their students' development of flexible disciplinary understanding. In this course, participants will explore each element of TfU: generative topics, understanding goals, performances of understanding, and ongoing assessment. We'll introduce the educational concerns that each element addresses and the criteria that distinguish each element from its near neighbors in other pedagogical models. In small groups, participants will identify the characteristics of TfU in video and narrative examples and begin to use each element themselves. The course will help to clarify the fundamentals and potential of this powerful tool. SU
