Reflections on K-12 science education

Today I’m participating in a panel on K-12 education, hosted by the National Association of Scholars.


You can watch the event on youtube. The even is launching a new document called the Franklin Standards on K-12 education, which are available online link

JC’s remarks

Hello everyone.  I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this panel.

Let me start off by saying that I would be delighted to teach freshman college students that had been taught the content that Franklin proposes.

I strongly endorse Franklin’s recommendations on teaching Scientific Inquiry, History of Science, and Engineering and Technology.

I also abhor the creep of activism and equity into the K-12 curriculum.
