How will policy makers use Science Anchors?
According to the Constitution, powers not explicitly delegated to the federal government are delegated to the states. Consequently, education is a state issue, and it is highly unlikely this country will ever have a national curriculum or mandatory national standards. However, with 50 separate sets of standards, it is difficult for policy makers in different states to collaborate and share resources to improve science education. Science Anchors could provide a common ground for developing regional programs and national collaborations.
