ABSTRACT
This guidebook, a comprehensive national directory of
federal offices, programs, and facilities supporting K-12 education in
mathematics and science, was designed to inform educators and the general
public about federally-supported resources in these subjects and to increase
access to them. This book contains information on federal offices and
programs at the national and regional levels and lists state-by-state
contacts for many of these resources. Sixteen federal agencies collaborated
with the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC) to produce this publication.
Section 1 contains general information about the 16 agencies and highlights
their involvement in mathematics and science education, acquaints the reader
with agency-specific background information, and lists its administrative
offices for mathematics and science education. Section 2 features nationwide
agency-sponsored mathematics and science programs for elementary and
secondary education by region. Each program entry includes the program name,
a brief program description, and contact information. Section 3 lists by
state and territory those agency resources available at the local level.
Information contained in this guidebook is also available in electronic
format as part of ENC's effort to provide online information and resources.

Dear Reader:
This is the fifth edition of The Guidebook of Federal Resources for K-12 Mathematics
and Science prepared by the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse (ENC). The Guidebook
is a comprehensive national directory of federal offices, programs, and facilities
supporting K-12 education in these subject areas.
Those of us in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement, like our colleagues
in the entire U.S. Department of Education, are working to bring about educational
reform and answer the President's Call to Action for American Education in the 21st
century. The Eisenhower National Clearinghouse, in collaboration with the Eisenhower
Regional Consortia, plays a strategic role in reaching National Education Goal Five, that
American students will be the first in the world in mathematics and science achievement
by the year 2000. This publication is part of a continuous effort to inform educators and
the public about federally supported resources and to increase access to them. It contains
information about federal offices and programs at the national and regional levels and
also lists state-by-state contacts for many of these resources in your region.
Information in this Guidebook is also available in electronic format as part of ENC's
effort to provide online information and resources, including an extensive catalog of
K-12 curriculum materials. The Eisenhower Regional Consortia will also assist in the
dissemination of this publication.
We hope you will use this valuable tool as you pursue methods and practices to advance
and raise the quality of educational opportunities in mathematics and science for all
students.
