The Education Policy and Leadership Center The Math Forum @ Drexel University The Math Forum has a rich history as an online hub for the mathematics education community. A debt of gratitude is owed to the dedicated staff who created and maintained the top math education content and community forums that made up the Math Forum since its inception. NCTM will continue to make many of the most popular parts of the Math Forum content accessible to the mathematics education community. Problems of the Week The Math Forum created Problems of the Week as an integrated program that features problems by standard and additional teacher support materials. Continue Your Math Education Conversations in MyNCTM! MyNCTM is an online community where NCTM members can ask questions, network and connect with each other, start and join discussions, find and upload resources, and interact with education experts. For many years mathematicians, scientists, engineers and others interested in mathematics have played "year games" via email and in newsgroups. Year Game for 2018 Browse the Archives

Center for the Study of Teaching and Policy: Home Page Welcome! The Center for the Study of Teaching and Policy investigates efforts to improve the quality of teaching and learning, the teacher workforce, and the systems of support for teachers’ work, in various contexts and at multiple levels of the K-12 educational system. To that end, Center researchers identify ways that policy actions, leadership, and reform efforts guide, direct, and support teaching and learning, thereby informing and enhancing the quality of learning opportunities in U.S. elementary and secondary schools. Research highlights Recent Center Reports The Center has recently released a synthesis report, Learning-focused Leadership and Leadership Support: Meaning and Practice in Urban Systems. Another line of Center research has produced an examination of the impact of Washington state’s incentives for teachers to attain National Board Certification and to work in challenging schools About the Center

Welcome to the Mathematics Assessment Project the deliberate dumbing down of america STARTS NOW Adding to Hunter's diary on loony education theories of the reich wing .. [his] problem is that we're not teaching our children according to the proven principles of [18th] century England... It's much worse: Conservatives see liberal bias in class - and mobilize "Complaints that teachers push liberal ideology are trickling down from college campuses to the K-12 level.. activists have generated a wave of efforts to limit what teachers may discuss and to bring more conservative views into the classroom The founder of this loony bin in college is right-wing activist David Horowitz [who] has a distinguished history of intellectual defamation, historical inaccuracy and political bullying. Ignore them, they're just crazy ? David Horowitz Think Progress As an American who had spent many years working abroad, I had experienced traveling in and living in socialist countries. That was just the beginning.

These unit frameworks reflect the thoughtful collaboration and dedication of mathematics teachers, coaches, and supervisors from across the state of Georgia. K-5 CCGPS Mathematics Overview The K-5 standards are organized using domains, overarching ideas that connect topics across the grades, clusters that illustrate progression of increasing complexity from grade to grade and standards which define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. The focus in the K-5 standards is comparable to that seen in high-performing countries.

This paper aims at establishing a memetic framework of definitions with which policy making in public and private organizations can be described and studied. Much has been written on memetics. In processes of policy making different views on how issues should be addressed compete for supremacy.
