Abstract: Abstract The title is too narrow by half. It suggests the influence will go all one way, with changes at the college level filtering down to the secondary. Perhaps in the long run that will be true, but in the short run, to the extent that the interface between the two levels is now carefully synchronized, what is presently taught at one level constrains what changes can be made unilaterally at the other. Even in the long run, if changes at the college level demand major changes at the secondary level for which secondary teachers are not ready because of training and philosophy, then changes at the secondary level will be very slow.
