About this product
Product Information
Ten years after its first publication, The Teaching Gap remains "a critical resource" ( Publishers Weekly ) for anyone involved in education. In paperback for the first time, it has been fully revised and includes a new preface and afterword by the authors. American schools have famously lagged behind foreign schools in all areas of academic achievement. When James W. Stigler and James Hiebert made their assessment of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) ten years ago, they discovered that the problem with American education is neither one of testing nor curricula, but teaching. A clarion call for treating teaching like the craft it is, The Teaching Gap lays out a clear program for change that administrators, teachers, and parents can implement together. Newly updated with fresh teaching solutions drawn from new research, this educational classic is as vital a teaching tool as ever.

Paul L.

Hart Secretary of Education, State of California Provides valuable insights and cautionary notes that should guide the education reform debate in the years ahead., Gary K. HartSecretary of Education, State of CaliforniaProvides valuable insights and cautionary notes that should guide the education reform debate in the years ahead., Sandra FeldmanPresident, American Federation of TeachersFor a decade now we've looked hard at how other countries deliver good education. We've studied their standards, their curricula, their exams, and their student performance. Finally, here's a book that says none of this will make a difference unless teachers have a professional life -- the opportunity to develop and teach the good lessons that enable other reforms to have an impact in typical classrooms with real kids. Stigler and Hiebert's comparative analysis of Japanese, German, and U.S. teaching advises us to make schools places where teachers have the time and support to systematically study and improve upon their daily work.
