State Standards and Evolution

The Science Teacher—Summer 2004

Most states’ science-education standards support the teaching of evolution, but many in the general public and some policymakers want science classrooms to include creationism. As a result of this influence, are educators teaching creationism even though state standards support the teaching of evolution? To answer this question, the author examined evolution education in Minnesota to determine if teachers emphasize evolution in their biology classes as mandated by Minnesota’s state educational standards.
