If the visions of the national mathematics and science standards are to be achieved, efforts must be taken to develop strategies for implementing standards‐based curriculum and instruction. The Nebraska Mathematics/Science Framework Project used reflection and collaboration to develop a framework document that has been a significant motivator to enhance mathematics and science education in Nebraska. A teachers‐teaching‐teachers inservice model was used to connect the framework document with effective, innovative teaching practice and assessment strategies. The end result is an articulated program of mathematics and science which is guiding other state efforts to improve mathematics and science education.
