Appendix A

The 2000 National Survey of Science and Mathematics Education, by Susan B. Hudson, Kelly C.
McMahon, and Christina M. Overstreet, provides a wealth of data, based on responses from 5,765
science and mathematics teachers across the United States (Hudson, 2002). This volume contains
tables of frequencies for each item on the questionnaire, copies of the instruments, and details on
data collection and analysis. Results are available online at: http://2000survey.horizon-
