Abstract
The AAAS Cooperative Committee on the Teaching of Science and Mathematics* has been acutely aware of the rapidly-increasing shortage of science and mathematics teachers and of the inadequacy of the training of many of them. Although most critical in physics, the shortage is general and is growing more serious as school enrollments increase. The Committee has developed a seven-point action program-The Science Teaching Improvement Program-to cope with the problem. With a grant of $300,000 from the Carnegie Corporation and with Dr. John Mayor, mathematician and educator, from the University of Wisconsin as Director, the AAAS hopes to make a real contribution to the alleviation of the situation.
