Popis:	With the 1980s came the recognition that a crisis is developing in American education and in science and mathematics education in particular. Thus one goal coming out of President Bush's 1989 Education Summit is that “US students will be first in the world in science and mathematics” by the year 2000. Here we consider the response of three sectors of the physics research community—the professional scientific societies, the national laboratories (see figure 1) and industry—and survey the programs they offer for pre‐college students and teachers. There are too many such programs for our treatment to be comprehensive and so we have chosen a representative selection. These same organizations also have many projects that deal with curriculum reform and teaching materials, as Gerhard Salinger discusses in his article on page 39. The box on page 50 summarizes the activities open to the individual researcher.
