This paper describes a project meant to develop a standard for Hong Kong students' work in biology. The process involves defining students' work and setting standards for students aged 9, 12, and 16. Besides defining the academic and scientific knowledge to be achieved at various levels, the analysis also includes desirable skills and attitudes for students learning science. Both science process and cognitive skills are included in the portrait of students' work. The role of teachers who participated in the study and ways to enhance professional development among them is also discussed. (Author/WRM)
