The science program of a Florida school system is used as an illustration of one approach to educational accountability. Excerpts from the law, "The Educational Accountability Act of 1971," are presented to provide a feeling for the requirements, impact and implications imposed. The program described is called "The Coordinated-Articulated Science Program of Escambia County Schools," said to be coordinated so that common essential learning activities occur in all classes of a given subject and/or grade level. The program is articulated so that each teacher is aware of how instruction in a given class relates to the total planned science program. A schematic diagram, showing the relationship of the program's philosophy and goals, the state standards, and the science goals and objectives to science concepts, processes, attitudes and values is presented.
