Curricula report

Some two and a half years ago, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Science Teaching Center at the University of Maryland jointly established the Information Clearinghouse on New Science and Mathematics Curricula. Under the direction of J. David Lockard, the project seeks to gather data and materials from new and ongoing science and mathematics projects and to disseminate pertinent information to interested individuals and groups. The most recent report of the Clearinghouse supplies information about all major projects and many state and local school systems, encompassing materials from the full K‐16 science‐education curriculum. The data are in the form of replies to a three‐page questionnaire which the Clearinghouse sent to all interested parties and is presented in four sections; National Science Foundation projects, other major projects, science and mathematics materials from state and local school systems, and the college commissions. Single copies of the Third Report of the Information Clearinghouse on New Science and Mathematics Curricula can be obtained, while the supply lasts, from J. David Lockard, Director, Information Clearinghouse, University of Maryland, College Park, Md.
