examine the implications of TIMSS, state testing, and standards, and look at authentic
student work in classrooms.
Go to this unit.
Workshop 2. Creating Communities That Learn Together
With the goal of building learning communities that improve math and science outcomes,
this workshop shows several ways that principals can work toward including all
voices — teachers, students, parents — in a new dialogue about education reform. Go to this unit.
Workshop 3. Math/Science Skills—What's Important?
In this workshop, principals examine what teachers, college and business leaders, and parents believe students should know and be able to do to be successful in math and science. Go to this unit.
