The book looks at changing the way science is being taught in K-12 schools.
School officials often examine teaching science from the perspective of the academic performance of K-12 children and the performance of the teacher. But rarely do we see teacher preparation programs examined under the same scrutinization. Finishing First in Science Education takes an inside view of these programs by transforming actual events into teaching case studies. The case studies serve to encourage desirable skills within pre-service teachers and teacher educators. Employers all over the world desire creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication skills. Educators can embrace these skills and emphasize them in teaching and learning.

Lillian Riggs-Johnson's research over the last decade in education has led her on a path to follow American youth and their performance on international math and science assessments. Her lifetime of work in the field of biomedical research and teacher training has culminated in Finishing First in Science Education: What Will It Take?
