This volume contains the proceedings and summary for the Earth Systems Education high school symposium conducted in October, 1994. Selected participants were invited to contribute papers for inclusion in this volume so that other teachers can see how Earth Systems Education (ESE) looks in practice. The volume also contains the context for ESE in terms of the National Science Education Standards, innovative technologies, and key university developments. The proceedings are presented in the following sections: (1) a symposium overview; (2) restructuring the science curriculum; (3) description of ESE; (4) ESE interface with National Science Education Standards; (5) ESE in context including a teacher's view, ESE at the college level, and ESE in international telecommunications (the GLOBE program); (6) issues in high school science curriculum restructure; (7) participant presentation transcripts; (8) technology support and resources for ESE (includes handouts and additional related information); (9) references cited (contains 14 entries); and (10) appendix. The appendix contains the symposium agenda and participant list, a summary of five published articles concerning the philosophy and history behind ESE, and an annotated bibliography of 50 books and articles useful for assisting teachers in transitions to ESE.
