[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] International math and science study

[Lesley Farmer]

Students in the highest-performing U.S. states rank well below their
peers in the world's top-achieving countries in mathematics and science
skill, according to a new study that compares the performance of 8th
graders. The analysis found that, on the one hand, most American states
are performing as well as, or better than, most foreign nations in the
study in math and science. But it also concludes that even students in
high-performing states do not match students in top-performing foreign
countries.Phillips, G. (2007). Chance Favors the Prepared Mind:
