I'm in the process of reworking my blog reading, and one area I'd like to expand is science education policy beyond the creation/evolution fight. I'm finding fairly slim pickings, alas. If you've got a favorite source of information (blog or non-blog) on science education policy, please leave your suggestion in the comments. It doesn't have to be a blog. Journals, newsletters, etc. are all welcome. I'm trying to cast a wide net.

Seldom in the field of human conflict has so much been written by so many people on a subject about which they know nothing. Or so I'd like to hope: in the sense that I'd hope that the denialist chatter about peer review was the nadir. But I do know something about peer review, though my knowledge…

Almost two months later…
I just started this blog not yet ready to go public at http://educateparents.blogspot.com/ you are welcome to it but
it will not be of much use to you now. I am working hard at it though.
Being from Europe, I have little understanding of fundamentalism: it hardly exists there.
Love your blog, I am feeding on it!
You're still in the San Francisco area, right?
I would check out the UC Berkeley Education-Psychology Library (http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/EDP/). I was wandering in there for a bit a couple of weeks ago, when I was early for a class, and they had several journals devoted to research in science education that looked interesting. I think it's open to the public -- they didn't ask me for my ID.
