Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning Report Notes Need for Improved Science Education
In a report released by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning on 4 Feb. 2011, "Scientific Literacy: The Missing Ingredient," based upon recent NAEP and California Standards Test results, it was opined that science education is crucial for improvement of California schools, as well as being "an essential ingredient for California competitiveness." (quoting California Space Education and Workforce Institute). According to the report, which can be viewed at http://www.cftl.org/centerviews/february11.html , California's number of students ranking proficient in science is near the bottom, with persistent achievement gaps among demographic groups. Results of a public survey show that there is strong support for science education. (ACSA EdCal, 3/7/11 edition).
