What's Happening in Mathematics Education
The Fordham Institute has just released a new publication,
Common Core Math in the K-8 Classroom,
in which Jennifer Bay Williams, Ann Duffett, and David Griffin take a close look at how educators are implementing the Common Core math standards in classrooms across the nation. A nationally representative survey of over 1,000 teachers reveals that they are increasingly familiar with the standards and believe that they will benefit students.

Message from the NCSM President, John Staley
Continuing the conversation: "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 the teaching and learning of mathematics, what is your plan to involve families and community partners? As the summer continues, now is the time to establish specific goals and a clear plan to engage parents and community members as active resources to support for learning mathematics. First, consider the resources you will provide-in multiple languages -that help people understand the mathematics that children are learning. Second, consider the opportunities available to partner with faith-based and community organizations that play a role in supporting families and students. How might NCSM better support you in this work? Take a moment and share your thoughts: post http://tinyurl.com/NCSM-MRA, Twitter- #NCSM-MRA.
Have a great summer.
