| Summary: | In recent years, the need to improve education has received considerable attention. The development of educational indicators is necessary to help policymakers determine whether educational conditions have improved and what additional actions are indicated. The Council of Chief State School Officers State Education Assessment Center initiated a project in 1986 to develop state indicators of the condition of science and mathematics education. This paper describes how this project was developed including a conceptual model of the educational system and state-by-state indicators. The rest of the paper looks at ways that indicators could be used in policymaking and programmatic decision making. Areas discussed include: (1) "Curriculum and Instruction"; (2) "Educational Equity": (3)"Pre-Service Teacher Preparation"; and (4) "In-Service Education." (CW) |
