Reports on 21st Century Content Standards for Science and Engineering in Virginia's K-12 CurriculumIn the late spring and early summer of 2007, three panels of practicing scientists and engineers met to review and make recommendations (gap analysis) concerning the content of Virginia's K-12 Standards of Learning (SOL) in physics and chemistry and the K-12 program in engineering. The participants were drawn from university content-area departments, engineering schools, government research laboratories, and industry. The results of the panels' work are contained in the three stand-alone reports (chemistry, physics, engineering) on this web site. A shorter "Summary.pdf" presentation on the panels and results is also available. Each report contains an executive summary, followed by a description of the process used by the panel and resulting findings and recommendations. There are two appendices to each report. The first contains short biographies for panel members and the second contains copies of the extensive background materials the panels reviewed in preparation for their face to face meetings. The panels were led by James G. Batterson of NASA Langley Research Center on loan to the Office of Secretary of Education for Virginia. NASA's support for this activity was under its quality of next-generation STEM workforce strategic objective. The Dynamic Systems and Control Branch supports this website in part to provide ongoing and timely scientific and technical support information to impact the competitiveness of the United States in technological arenas. Your questions and comments are always welcome and can be sent to James.G.Batterson@nasa.gov. James G. Batterson Panel Leader September 20, 2007 Links to the reports are given below:
