Study of Acceptance of National Council of Teachers Standards for School Mathematics

数学科学教育委员会（MSEB） 国家研究理事会正在进行一项多年期联合 与全国数学教师理事会合作的项目 （NCTM）为各州和当地学区提供一个 明确说明什么构成了学校的卓越 数学 这些标准可用于评估 目前的计划，并确定如何改善它们。 该项目将使许多不同的网络参与， 分析NCTM标准和新的MSEB框架 这是为了确定未来的发展方向， 数学教育 学校董事会的代表， 国家机构、学校管理人员和家长团体将 被要求对提出的建议作出反应。 这 活动将向NCTM提供关于适当性的反馈 和理解的标准，并允许 数学教育界关注可能的 接受更高标准的障碍 戏剧性的变化。

The Mathematical Sciences Education Board (MSEB) of the National Research Council is engaged in a multi-year joint project with the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) to provide states and local school districts with a clear statement of what consititutes excellence in school mathematics. Such standards could be used for evaluating current programs and determining how they can be improved. This project would engage many different networks in analyzing both the NCTM standards and the new MSEB framework that is being developed to set future direction for mathematics education. Representatives from school boards, state agencies, school administrators, and parent groups will be asked to react to the proposed recommendations. This activity will provide feedback to NCTM on the appropriateness and intelligibility of the standards as drafted and allow the mathematics education community to focus on possible impediments to acceptance of higher standards and more dramatic change.
