ing national curriculum studies and/or the regional university-school research and development centers.

The third one, the Independent Design Plan, provides for the design of materials and leaves the evaluation and dissemination processes to commercial publishers. This plan would cost approximately $2,000,000 to prepare appropriate materials for commercial publication; if materials were left in prototype form there would be a saving of approximately $1,000,000.

SUMMARY

Plan I: $6,020,000.-Time: +5 year production and test; +10-15 full implementation.

Effectiveness: probability high and will have immediate impact through parents of children; it is thoroughly tested; it will have impact and will resist submersion in school systems.

Plan II: $3,280,000.—Time: +4 year production; +20 year to full implementation (will probably be replaced).

Effectiveness: although easy to accept in concept, it runs a high risk of being submerged; it has low parent impact.

Plan III: $1,040,000.-Time : +3 year production; implementation unknown. Effectiveness: it has low probability.

STATEMENT OF THE ASSOCIATION OF CLASSROOM TEACHERS, NEA BETTY I. BUFORD, PRESIDENT

The Association of Classroom Teachers, NEA, representing approximately 900,000 classroom teacher members of the National Education Association, is constitutionally committed as an integral and vital part of the parent association to keep classroom teachers aware of their responsibility to provide quality education for all.

Classroom teachers are extremely concerned that all segments of American society must immediately receive intensive education in the multi-faceted realm of environmental education and ecology. Early and immediate involvement of those charged with the education of our citizenry from kindergarten through grade 12 and beyond in the development of curriculum and materials is the thrust of the resolution adopted by some 4,000 delegates to the classroom teachers representative assembly July 1969 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. ACT resolution 69-31 states:

"ACT recognizes the lack of awareness and understanding among students of environmental problems relating to the technological age. It believes that understanding these problems can make possible proper reassessment of value judgments of the natural environment so that man's right to life can be protected. ACT therefore recommends that state boards of education develop curriculum studies of ecological and environmental problems for kindergarten through grade 12. It further recommends that classroom teachers promote understanding of the need for such studies in their communities in preparation for implementation of such curricula in local school systems."

As first steps to this end, offices and staff of the Association of Classroom Teachers have been pleased to lend their support to efforts of NEA's Project Man's
