This document describes Project A+, a cooperative school and privately funded program designed to assist the Austin Independent School District (AISD) in becoming an exemplary school district by the year 2000. The project is divided into four components. The curriculum development component presents three new curricula piloted in AISD schools in 1990: The Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, Science for Life and Living; Planet Earth; and Nonpoint Source Pollution. The staff development component describes three training institutes offered to train teachers in technology and in curriculum development: the Technology Institute; The Biological Sciences and Curriculum Development Institute; and the River Watch Institute. The student participation component conducted outreach activities with the students of teachers who attended the training institutes.
