Goals2000 ... Project2061 ... et al
While I was researching the background information to design this web site last year, I kept coming across the name
F. JAMES RUTHERFORD on many Official Government and Teacher web sites when the topic was teaching math and sciences to our children.
F. James Rutherford is Chief Education Officer of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Director of Project 2061: Education for a Changing Future.
Educators and publishers have been scurrying about for much of the 1990s trying to translate into practice reform slogans such as ‘less is more’...
Mr Rutherford believes that:
"High school textbooks list 120 different technical words about the cell that students are often required to memorize." Rutherford says that "We found 11 of the words were sufficient."
With "Education" with that attititude, where will the USA be in 10 years? Right where Clinton & Carter have promised? At the bottom of the world? References are posted with this article.
That is an awsome site.
I salute your talent. Bookmarked.
But, I guess I need to break down and buy the bigger monitor that my failing eyesight now requires.
A major YEEESH bump.
