This resource guide to curriculum materials that incorporate workplace experiences in science, mathematics and technology education.

Table of Contents:
Foreword - Senta Raizen and Margaret Vickers Why Should Mathematics and Science Connect to Workplace Contexts? Six Ways that Curriculum Materials Can Connect to Workplace Contexts How Materials Were Selected and Reviewed Reviews of Mathematics Curricula Reviews of Science and Integrated Curricula

About the Author :
Edward (Ted) Britton is associate director of the National Center for Improving Science Education (NCISE), housed within the Mathematics, Science, and Technology program of WestEd. Dr. Britton brings long experience in research and evaluation of curriculum issues and materials to this book. In collaboration with Senta Raizen and others, he developed methods for a cross-national comparison of textbooks in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). He led a review of curriculum materials that connect science and mathematics to workplace contexts, Connecting Mathematics and Science to Workplace Contexts. Britton currently serves on the Technology Education Advisory Council of the ITEA. His earlier NCISE research includes comparing high-stakes mathematics and science examinations across countries and studying U.S. innovations in mathematics and science education as part of an international study under the auspices of the Paris-based Organization of Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). As project director for Mary Budd Rowe of the University of Florida during the 1980s, Ted developed the first CD-ROM in science education and produced videotapes for the professional development of science teachers. During the late 1970s, he taught science courses for Grades 7–12 at a rural junior-senior high school in Florida. Britton earned an EdD in science education, an MS in analytical chemistry, and a BS in chemistry and education from the University of Florida.

Review :
"A valuable asset to vocational and traditional educators who wish to make their curriculum more relevant."  "A distinct contribution for science and math educators looking to link their academics to real-life applications."  "Very timely! School-to-work and tech prep programs are being developed in virtually every corner of the country."

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
