Student effort matters! This is just one of the findings of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel in its 2008 report titled Foundations for Success—The Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel. This 120-page report addresses one central question: How can schools in the United States improve mathematics curriculum, instruction, assessment, teacher training and support so that all American students learn mathematics so that they can compete with students from other nations? In the report, the advisory panel discusses 45 findings and recommendations on key topics, such as instructional practices, materials, professional development, and assessments. The authors stress the importance of knowledgeable teachers, effective instruction, effective assessment, and the need for rigorous research in mathematics education. |

This Web portal was created to address the need for information relevant to the disparity in mathematics and science achievement among different student populations. It is intended for educators at all levels, as well as policymakers, researchers, parents, and members of the business community. Developers of this site seek to encourage active involvement of these many stakeholders in solving this persistent problem. In support of this, the site provides definitions and descriptive data, discusses the roles of various groups, and highlights successful approaches to ensuring a quality mathematics and science education for all students. |
Eisenhower Southwest Consortium for the Improvement of Mathematics and Science Teaching (SCIMAST). This Quick Take explores using the TIMSS Report. |
From 1992 through 2005, the ten Eisenhower Regional Consortia and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse collaborated with each other and with many state, regional, and national partners to build an effective network for providing valuable, and often unique, services and resources to mathematics and science educators across the nation. This report is one in series of "lessons learned" in facilitating mathematics and science reform that represents the reflective thinking of professionals who have engaged many thousands of clients. It highlights practical knowledge acquired from the systematic use of specific strategies and tools, connecting this knowledge to research. This Publication is part of the Facilitating Mathematics and Science Reform: Lessons Learned series. Other publications in the series include: What Experience Has Taught Us About Collaboration. |
