Sweet Search Launches Research-Based Resources for Educators Reston, Va., May 29, 2007 — The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has launched Research Clips and Briefs, an important resource for finding research-based answers to questions about mathematics teaching and learning. The new resource will make it easier for teachers to link classroom practice to research findings. • Research Clips present concise statements, backed by research, about mathematics education. These are drawn from NCTM’s Research Briefs or address other important mathematics education issues. • Research Briefs offer two- to three-page summaries that encapsulate the information in NCTM’s Research Analyses or in other research reports. The first set of Research Clips and Briefs covers topics dealing with effective instruction, students with difficulties, and formative assessment. The Research Clips and Briefs are part of NCTM’s initiative to improve K–12 mathematics education by strengthening connections between practice and research.
