Who's Involved
THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Development of Nelson Science 10 resources has involved the
participation of many experienced authors, editors, consultants and
expert reviewers with extensive experience in science publishing. From
1998 to 2000, the Nelson Education Science Development Team held over
85 focus groups with over 800 grades 7-10 science teachers to identify
key issues and gain an understanding of how new science programs could
best meet the needs of classroom teachers and students. The information
obtained through this extensive consultation process has ensured that
Nelson Science 10 not only addresses the goals and expectations
of the new Ontario curriculum, but also meets the needs of teachers
and students.
While material was being written, over 40 Ontario teachers, consultants
and other educators provided input through participation in the Nelson
Science 10 Advisory Panel and overall review process.
