<br/><br/> "The Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) raised the alarm about U.S. mathematics and science education. Most Americans are now aware that in mathematics and science achievement, U.S. students lag behind their peers in other developed nations."--BOOK JACKET. "This comprehensive analysis of the TIMSS study provides insights into the TIMSS findings and practical information that local schools and districts can use to improve their mathematics and science programs."--BOOK JACKET. "This book will be of particular use to teachers, administrators, school board members, legislators, curriculum developers, teacher educators, and parents."--Jacket.
