Speaker's notes:
This is the 6th education summit (preschool, teachers, high schools, safe and drug free, math) in the last 3 years for which I've prepared a summary of what research tells us.
The present topic, science education, has been challenging because the research base is thin. There is more than a little irony in the disconnect between education science and science education. I will return to that theme at the end of my presentation.
