RBS Currents 9.1 - Fall/Winter 2005

September 30, 2005 marks the conclusion of the Eisenhower Consortia for Mathematics and Science Education and the Eisenhower National Clearinghouse. In this issue of RBS Currents we celebrate the last 13 years of service to the educational community by reflecting on the services and products that RBS has provided. We begin with both a look back and a look ahead from RBS Executive Co-Director Keith Kershner. Historical accounts of RBS' involvement in the dissemination of TIMSS and lesson study are featured, as are a variety of programs and accomplishments within each of the mid-Atlantic states that RBS serves.
