Low teacher expectations, gender-biased teaching and counseling, and parental discouragement contribute to girls' diminishing interest in science (AAUW 1992). Because the majority of elementary school teachers are women, we can see how the problem perpetuates itself. Women teachers using outmoded curricula and the same strategies that failed to excite them as students can result in a cycle of lack of interest in science. Our nation's continued advancement in science and technology requires that we end this cycle and attract as many talented men and women as we can to those fields. The primary goal of Science, YES!, a Goals 2000 project,' was to reform science education by making it \"handson, minds on\" and free of gender bias. The project was developed at Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York. Kingsborough collaborated with five community school districts, three Brooklyn high schools, the New York City Board of Education Offices of Multicultural Education and Early Childhood Education, and business and community partners to provide a tuitionfree, six-credit, summer institute for teachers. The institute provided courses in the principles of science and the methodology of teaching science to fifty-six teachers from prekindergarten through grade twelve. Parents, teachers, and administrators from the participating schools were invited to participate in three parent and staff development conferences during the course of the project. Several things emerged throughout the project: teachers became excited about science curriculum; teachers became more comfortable teaching science and more aware of how","PeriodicalId":339545,"journal":{"name":"The Clearing House","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128053089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Harassment can occur between administrators and teachers, between teachers and their educational colleagues and support staff, between educators and students, and between students themselves. In its last session, the U.S. Supreme Court issued four major decisions regarding liability for claims of sexual harassment. Only one of the decisions, Gebser v. Lago Vista (1998), dealt directly with sexual harassment in a public school, but all four affect the potential liability of school districts for claims of sexual harassment. To understand the full impact of three of these decisions in the school setting, one must remember that school districts are employers as well as educational institutions.","PeriodicalId":339545,"journal":{"name":"The Clearing House","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121507503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At that critical juncture in American history, the schools were blamed for having failed to sufficiently teach students basic academic knowledge-especially math and the sciences. The appearance, prior to Sputnik, of Rudolph Flesch's Why Johnny Can't Read (1955) and the formation of the Council for Basic Education helped define the reform movement fueled by Sputnik (Van Til 1974; Goodlad 1984). Despite the concerted academic emphasis driving that reform, however, it concluded well short of its mark. There was no direct evidence that students had learned more, or that society was any better served, as a consequence of the redoubled focus on academics (Hansen 1973). There was, in fact, a strong suspicion that the function of education had been too narrowly drawn, that other important goals had been sacrificed in the quest for excellence (Burgess 1984; Goodlad 1997).
