Published to glowing praise in 1990, Science for All Americans defined the        science-literate American--describing the knowledge, skills, and attitudes all        students should retain from their learning experience--and offered a series of        recommendations for reforming our system of education in science, mathematics, and        technology. Benchmarks for Science Literacy takes this one step further. Created in        close consultation with a cross-section of American teachers, administrators, and        scientists, Benchmarks elaborates on the recommendations to provide guidelines for        what all students should know and be able to do in science, mathematics, and        technology by the end of grades 2, 5, 8, and 12. These grade levels offer reasonable        checkpoints for student progress toward science literacy, but do not suggest a rigid        formula for teaching. Benchmarks is not a proposed curriculum, nor is it a plan for        one: it is a tool educators can use as they design curricula that fit their        student's needs and meet the goals first outlined in Science for All Americans. Far        from pressing for a single educational program, Project 2061 advocates a reform        strategy that will lead to more curriculum diversity than is common        today.IBenchmarks emerged from the work of six diverse school-district teams who        were asked to rethink the K-12 curriculum and outline alternative ways of achieving        science literacy for all students. These teams based their work on published        research and the continuing advice of prominent educators, as well as their own        teaching experience. Focusing on the understanding and interconnection of key        concepts rather than rote memorization of terms and isolated facts, Benchmarks        advocates building a lasting understanding of science and related fields. In a        culture increasingly pervaded by science, mathematics, and technology, science        literacy require habits of mind that will enable citizens to understand the world        around them, make some sense of new technologies as they emerge and grow, and deal        sensibly with problems that involve evidence, numbers, patterns, logical arguments,        and technology--as well as the relationship of these disciplines to the arts,        humanities, and vocational sciences--making science literacy relevant to all        students, regardless of their career paths.If Americans are to participate in a        world shaped by modern science and mathematics, a world where technological know-how        will offer the keys to economic and political stability in the twenty-first century,        education in these areas must become one of the nation's highest priorities.          Together with Science for All Americans, Benchmarks for Science Literacy offers a        bold new agenda for the future of science education in this country, one that is        certain to prepare our children for life in the twenty-first century.
