Abstract	For years [American] schools and children have lagged behind international standards in reading, arithmetic, and most other areas of academic achievement.... The problem.. is that most efforts to improve education fail because they simply don't have any impact on the quality of teaching inside classrooms. The [authors of this book] argue that teaching is cultural. American teachers aren't incompetent, but the methods they use are severely limited, and American teaching has no system in place for getting better.... The authors draw on the conclusions of ... TIMSS ... to refocus educational reform efforts. Using videotaped lessons from dozens of randomly selected eight- grade classrooms in the United States, Japan, and Germany, the authors reveal the rich, yet unfulfilled promise of American teaching and document exactly how other countries have consistently stayed ahead of [the USA] in the rate their children learn. [The American] schools can be restructured as places where teachers can engage in career-long learning and classrooms can become laboratories for developing new, teaching-centered ideas.
