New AAAS report explores how 10 US school districts improved science and mathematics learning

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Ten U.S. school districts have achieved significant improvement in science and mathematics performance by developing ambitious programs that set high standards, and then closely tracking what works and what doesn't work in helping students learn, according to a new AAAS report.

The 22-page report, "A System of Solutions: Every School, Every Student," identifies 10 U.S. K-12 school districts, serving some of the nation's major inner-city areas, and discusses the systemic practices that helped them improve student performance and close the gap between minority and non-minority students.
