Mobilize the mathematics community in its understanding and support of K-12 mathematics education, in light of the new context provided by the national test. In the short term, the National Science Foundation and other Sunders should make clear, through their program criteria and announcement, their expectation that, whenever appropriate, mathematics faculty and departments should exhibit commitment to and engagement in the improvement of K-12 mathematics education as something essential to their own self interest.

This would mean that the content emphases and coverage of the national test will be consistent with mathematical emphases that are valued in the mathematics and mathematics education communities (NCTM, 1989; NRC, 19904. Because the action strategy will involve teachers and the public, the content emphases and coverage of the national test need to be made explicit and distributed widely, so that teachers, parents, and students will be constructively guided in their local curricular decisions in grades K-S, and in local planning for continuing professional development of teachers.
