Message from the NCSM President, John Staley
How might we chart a course to change the future?
The NCSM Board just wrapped up our Fall Board Meeting. During the meeting we continued our conversations around the following three questions:
1. Why NCSM?
2. Where are we in our "Pursuit for a Vision of Equity" and Social Justice?
3. Where are we in supporting and engaging our membership?
As we continued the work from our summer strategic planning meeting of developing the details for the adopted strategic initiatives and projects, supporting and engaging the NCSM members in the work was at the heart of all discussions and plans.
The following NCSM Initiatives for 2016-2018 focus our work and allow us to engage you, our members, in the development of new resources and events designed to better serve the needs of growing and supporting mathematics education leaders at all levels:
Initiative 1: Connecting Leaders
Initiative 2: Leadership Learning
Initiative 3: Equity and Social Justice in Mathematics
Education
The following link provides a brief overview of each of the strategic initiatives
