State Education Policies Related to Science and Mathematics. Science and Mathematics Indicators Project.
Blank, Rolf K.; Espenshade, Pamela
This report contains state-by-state information on educational policies related to science and mathematics education at the elementary and secondary levels. The information was collected through the cooperation of the State Network on Science/Mathematics Indicators, which includes professional staff in each state department of education. The report summarizes current state policies related to science and mathematics in four areas. These are: (1) policies affecting the amount of instruction at elementary and secondary levels; (2) requirements for the certification of teachers; (3) recent policy initiatives on alternative certification and staff development; and (4) student testing in science and mathematics. The report includes documentation in tabular form of eight specific sets of data collected as a part of the survey. (TW)
