In the 1997-98 school year the science department in the Middletown Public Schools decided to adopt the NCEE New Standards, as published in Performance Standards, Volume 3, copyright 1997 by the National Center on Education and the Economy and the University of Pittsburgh.

It is recommended that you contact your child's school if you wish to examine the standards or guide purchased by the school system. Alternatively, you could contact the NCEE at the University of Pittsburgh (the volume mentioned above does not include information on how to do this).
