No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The development of national standards for K-12 science education is currently in progress, with input from twenty-six states (including Georgia) and numerous discipline-specific societies. The blueprint for standards development is the 2012 NRC report, “A Framework for K-12 Science Education.” Although the explicit focus is K-12 science, this report describes a fundamental reevaluation of science education that is useful for rethinking undergraduate science.
