Project 2061

Launched in 1985 and dedicated to the educational changes we must make before Halley's Comet next returns to our skies, Project 2061 is a long-term effort to reform "science, mathematics, and technology education for the 21st century." The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) developed several panels of Project 2061 scientists, mathematicians, and technologists to redefine scientific literacy. Their integrated report, entitled "Science for All Americans," is available here. The Project 2061 homepage describes the ambitious scientific literacy project in full detail and includes links to a series of excellent online tools (click on Project 2061 Tools). The impressive report seeks to outline "what all high school graduates should know and be able to do in science, math, and technology and lays out principles for effective learning and teaching." For any educator committed to the improvement of scientific literacy, this is an essential resource.
