And Others Course Evaluation Library Facilities School Business Relationship School Effectiveness Science Curriculum Science Education Science Equipment Science Instruction Science Laboratories Science Teachers Scientists Secondary Education Secondary School Science Teacher Evaluation This document is based upon the premise that with the help of professional scientists on university campuses, in industrial settings, and in private practice, school systems can meet head-on the unprecedented criticism currently being directed at public education and can develop exemplary science programs. This paper is a case study of a program implemented in the Conroe Independent School District (Texas) in which a group of scientists from nearby universities was organized to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the science education program of the district's high schools. Specifically, the "board of visitors" reviewed: (1) the scope and sequence of science courses; (2) the appropriateness of enrichment activities; (3) the adequacy of laboratory and classroom facilities; (4) the comprehensiveness of the library; (5) the availability of equipment and supplies; (6) the suitability of textbooks and teaching aids; (7) student participation in science activities; (8) the scheduling and counseling of students; (9) the character of inservice efforts; and (10) the quality of the teaching force. The findings and recommendations of the group are included. (TW)
