Biographical/Historical Sketch
The Middle Schools Curriculum Project began in 1987 with the intent to develop a science
curriculum that would interest many diverse students and give them a solid knowledge
base. A prototype based on the Human Biology curriculum at Stanford was so successful
that that focus was continued. From 1991 to 1994 Summer Institutes were held at Stanford
with teachers and administrators from 12 diverse test-site middle schools.
Collection includes the video program Human Biology for the Middle Grades: A Bold New
Approach, 1988; videotapes of team presentations from the Summer Institute of 1993; one

and hard drives containing the texts for publication.
