"Introduction In recent years, the world has witnessed a growing wave of local initiatives in support of public schools.

What kind of schools and systems of education does America need to transform mathematics and science education and deliver it equitably and with excellence to all students? The Commission believes that the magnitude of the challenge demands transformative change in classrooms, schools, and education systems. Educators, students, parents, leaders of universities, museums, and the business and professional communities, scientists and mathematicians, and public officials at all levels will need to embrace a new understanding that the world has shifted dramatically-and that an equally dramatic shift is needed in educational expectations and the design of schooling.
