Given Kelly’s post earlier this week, the release of this report by the Carnegie Corporation of New York is quite fortuitous. In it, Carnegie exams math and science education in the United States, finds it underwhelming and recommends a “mobilization plan.”
The plan:
- Higher levels of math and science for all American students.
- Common standards in math and science that are fewer, clearer and higher, coupled with aligned assessments.
- Improved teaching and professional learning, supported by better school and system management.
- New designs for schools and systems to deliver math and science learning more effectively.
Give it a read.
