Abstract

The author describes New York State´s New Compact for Learning educational reform project and specifically discusses the work of the MST (mathematics, science, and technology) curriculum and assessment committee. The design and content of a new introductory high school engineering course will be presented as an exemplary program for helping students to achieve the new integrated MST learning outcomes. Finally, a national teacher enhancement and leadership network program that is supported by the National Science Foundation is described
