Do you want to learn more about AAAS's Atlas of Science Literacy, Vol. 1 & 2 and how to put it to use to improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment? AAAS Project 2061 is offering its next popular professional development workshop "Using Atlas of Science Literacy" in September at the Museum of Life + Science, Durham, NC http://www.project2061.org/events/workshops/durham.htm
Developed by AAAS Project 2061, the 2-volume Atlas of Science Literacy contain 100 strand maps that present conceptual connections among the ideas and skills that all students should learn as they make progress toward science literacy. Designed for K-12 science teachers, curriculum specialists, and other educators and researchers, the workshop gives participants a new perspective on standards-based reform based on understanding the maps, clarifying standards, changing classroom practice, and improving curriculum. Atlas of Science Literacy is co-published by AAAS and NSTA.
