As required by Assembly Bill 3848, the California State Department of Education has produced this report to help the Legislature determine whether it should promote a program to make nuclear age education more widely available in the public schools and, if so, what type of program would achieve the most desirable results. In preparing the report, the department used data solicited from county offices of education and school districts, community organizations, other state departments of education, and students. It also reviewed current literature on nuclear age education. Recommendations were made in two broad areas. First, the Legislature should provide resources for the State Department of Education to: (1) develop in-service activities for teachers, administrators, and parents; (2) increase the coverage of nuclear age topics in teachers' and students' publications; and (3) work with community groups to ensure a balanced, unbiased approach to nuclear age education. Second, the Legislature should encourage school districts to: (1) provide release time and opportunities for in-service training; (2) incorporate nuclear age instruction in all appropriate subject areas; and (3) involve parent and community groups to ensure a balanced, unbiased approach. The appendixes include Assembly Bill Number 3848, survey materials, and a nine-page listing of books, studies, periodicals, and curriculum guides and other resources. (BZ)
