  A number of media outlets picked up an Associated Press article that examines how the American sweep of Nobel Prizes in science this year has filled the nation's science educators with pride over what's done well in labs and classrooms and angst over what's not.

  Latest Book in the Exemplary Science Series Touts Success of the Standards 
  Since their release in 1996, the National Science Education Standards (NSES) have provided the vision for science education reform. But has that reform actually taken hold in elementary school? Yes!, reports Robert Yager, editor of Exemplary Science in Grades Pre-K-4: Standards-Based Success Stories. Probably the Standards have done more to change science in elementary schools than has occurred at the other grade levels.
