Abstract	Collaborations between public schools and national and corporate laboratories, universities, museums, and other institutions may be a significant force in upgrading science education at the elementary and secondary levels. This report focuses on the new, inter-institutional approaches to the improvement of science education and attempts to assess the importance of the collaboration activities based on case studies of approximately 30 programs. Chapters are: (1) "Improving Science Education, Collaboratively"; (2) "The Corporate World"; (3) "Universities"; (4) "Museums"; (5) "'Third-Party' Agencies: Brokers for Change"; (6) "When a School District Takes the Lead"; (7) "Problem 1: Will the Alliances Last?"; (8) "Problem 2: What Science Should Be Taught?"; (9) "What Works: Practices and Policies That Promote Science Education Partnerships"; and (10) "Postscript: Are the Times Different for Educational Change?" The report concludes that educational partnerships could become a more significant force in modernizing science education but their replication and expansion are currently hampered by the lack of a guiding vision of good science teaching and by their marginal impact on the mainstream science curriculum. The report warns that without a substantial commitment to sustained funding by the large national foundations, states, and the Federal Government, the local alliance movement could fall well short of its potential.
