According to this report, since the 1960s many of the gains of post-Sputnik reform have been allowed to slip away and, as reports of the early 1980s have emphasized, elementary and secondary education has been neglected. The shock of technological and economic losses to other countries has once again alerted the United States to its educational shortcomings. The response of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) to this renewed national awareness and sense of crisis is described in this report. The AAAS has established six new programs in its Office of Science and Technology Education. The first part of this document, "OSTE Programs," describes these programs including: (1) "Project 2061: Education for a Changing Future"; (2) "National Forum for School Science"; (3) "Coalition for Education in the Sciences"; (4) "Science Resources for Schools"; (5) "Challenge of the Unknown"; and (6) "Science Seminars for Teachers." The second part discusses other AAAS initiatives including the Office of Opportunities in Science, the Office of Communications, the Office of Public Sector Programs, and the Meetings and Publications Center. The last part of this booklet describes the structure and personnel of the AAAS. (CW)
