Ford, C and Others (1997). Reforms, Visions, and Standards: A Cross-Curricular View from an Elementary School Perspective. (Mar 1997) Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the National Association for Research in Science Teaching. 70th, Oak Brook, IL, March 21, 1997

Summary/Analysis:

"During the 1990s discipline-specific associations have attempted to reform education with a variety of visions and standards. Most of these efforts have been independent of one another with minimal cross-curricular input on one another's steering committees and working groups." This paper analyzes the results of the reform from a cross-curricular elementary school perspective.
