Message from the NCSM President, John Staley
What a Difference a Year Can Make
During the past six months, mathematics educators from nine organizations joined together to dedicate the year
to
building our collective knowledge and understanding of topics and issues related to equity and social justice in mathematics education. On September 1, a
"Call for Collective Action to Develop Awareness: Equity and Social Justice in Mathematics Education" was launched as mathematics educators were invited to join this year long journey. I invite our members to join us as we learn together and plan actions that will make a difference in the future of mathematics education for our students. Visit
www.tinyurl.com/EQSJMATH
to learn more about this initiative and join us on Twitter, #EQSJMATH.
I would also like to share that TODOS has also set up a discussion board. So I hope to see NCSM members who are also TODOS members join in the conversation.
