| Sumario: | This article informs that the prospect of the 1960s is one of great significance for American education. A resurgence of public awareness of education and insistence on improvement in its quality is bringing about a reexamination of the organization and content of the school curriculum. In recent years national committees of eminent scientists have developed high school science and mathematics programs which have been widely adopted in the schools. An ineffective teacher will not suddenly become effective with the adoption of new curricular materials. If instruction is to be improved, it must be through developments within each school district, in each building, and within each classroom. The existence of ill-defined relationships among teachers, administrators and supervisors and of conflicting perceptions of the role each sees himself and others playing may combine to inhibit the consideration of change, and may, therefore, have a negative effect on teachers' attitudes.
