Message from the NCSM President, John Staley
As we continue our work around shifting the conversation from an emphasis on "standards and assessments" to making mathematics meaningful, relevant, and accessible for each and every student, I would like to invite you to join me in a conversation around "How might we" make mathematics more meaningful, relevant, and accessible for ALL students? As you think of your role and the work you do to support mathematics teachers, take a moment to reflect on how you interpret the three key words: meaningful, relevant, and accessible. How do you see this playing out in the teachers you work with, the classes you visit, the students, and the conversations you have with others? What opportunities exist to move our work further in this area? How might NCSM better support you in this work? Take a moment and share your thoughts: post to http://tinyurl.com/NCSM-MRA, Twitter- #NCSM-MRA, or by email jstaley@mathedleadership.org, include NCSM-MRA in the subject line.
Have a great end of the year!
