Synopsis

This must-have tool for applying the Standards in real classrooms has been fully revised for 21st century high schools. Of course, the best parts haven t changed! Our top-selling practical guide still demonstrates how you can bring to life the vision of the Standards for teaching, professional development, assessment, content, programs, and school systems. Throughout the book you ll learn ways to form productive partnerships for reform, inside and outside your building, with other education stakeholders. Several added features make this edition even more valuable. A new 14-page appendix offers practical suggestions for engaging a diverse student body (especially those with physical and learning disabilities) in high-quality science education. Titled Science for All: Including Each Student, the appendix provides concrete strategies for supporting all students by making information resources available in multiple formats and having assistive technology available. It also suggests professional development routes to learning how to create accessible learning environments, use materials and technology that are accessible to everyone, develop strategies to address diverse student needs, and perform informal and formal assessment. In addition, all of the book s resource lists have been updated with articles and books through 2003. SciLinks have been added throughout to ensure up-to-date Web resources. And thanks to an inviting new design, NSTA Pathways is even more reader friendly.
