The conference-based report is designed to help secondary school educators with the difficult and important task of deciding how and what to teach about nuclear arms and national security. The booklet intends to build a rationale and to develop a context or framework to assist in selecting approaches, teaching strategies, and appropriate materials for the school and community. The report includes suggested guidelines for dealing with controversy through the treatment of issues; integrating nuclear arms issues into the established curriculum through organizing topics; and suggestions relating to rationale, goals, materials, approaches, and evaluation. Eight conclusions for nuclear arms education are also presented and include statements on appropriateness, personal involvement, student/community needs, criteria, ultimate goals, and public policy. Two appendices are included: Building a Rationale for Nuclear Arms Education and Clarifying Some Positions on Avoiding Nuclear War. Selected readings are also provided. (TRS)
