- National Academy Press (NAP) - Although hard copies are still available for purchase, the National Academy Press is currently offering the full text of their Science and Math education books via their web site. Four books in particular (listed below) are valuable resources for elementary, middle, and high school science teachers, school administrators, curriculum developers, federal and state level education policy makers, and parents. These books provide insight on Science and Math educational standards and curriculum planning. These titles include:
--National Science Education Standards
--Inquiry and the National Science Education Standards
--Selecting Instructional Materials: A Guide for K-12 Science
--Designing Math or Science Curriculum Programs - National Center for Science Education - a nonprofit, tax-exempt membership organization working to defend the teaching of evolution against sectarian attack ... a nationally-recognized clearinghouse for information and advice to keep evolution in the science classroom and "scientific creationism" out. While there are organizations that oppose "scientific creationism" as part of their general goals (such as good science education, or separation of church and state), NCSE is the only national organization that specializes in this issue.
