Solidly grounded in current recommendations of the National Science
Education Standards, this text offers teaching guidance and
strategies for physical, biological, and earth science courses for
middle school, junior high, and high school. The authors' extensive
curriculum development experience imbues the text with a practical
focus. Their collective knowledge of the field balances coverage of
the theory and research behind the strategies they present. Also,
inherent in the text is a description of the role of constructivism
in science teaching and the connection between science and society
including how technological development is driven by societal
needs.
This book delivers what the title promises: perspectives on
leadership and science education, presented in the form of a
simulating seminar. Authors Rodger Bybee and Stephen Pruitt are two
of science educator's most prominent thought leaders. Writing in a
conversational style, they encourage you to ponder central concerns
of the science education community in general and science teachers
in particular. As they explain, "This book is our response to those
ready to face the challenges and provide leadership for education
reform." The book starts with an introduction to perspectives,
challenges, standards, and leadership-themes that weave throughout
the book. After a brief history of science education, Bybee and
Pruitt cover some of the current issues and topics in education
such as state standards and district leadership, curriculum
programs, professional development, and assessment and
accountability. Each Chapter also includes an essay from one of the
authors covering his personal perspective on the topic at hand.
Perspectives on Science education is certain to launch professional
conversations that will contribute to a deeper understanding of
science education and strengthen your desire and ability to lead.
As Bybee and Pruitt say in their last Chapter, "The science
education community needs your leadership.
