National Summit on the Mathematical Education of Teachers

2001年8月出版的《教师的数学教育》（MET）（目前可在CBMS网站www.maa.org/cbms上查阅）是数学界提高未来教师数学准备的议程。会议委员会的数学科学（CBMS），这指导了本文件的发展，推出MET与新闻发布会在2001年9月，（由埃克森美孚基金会资助）和全国高峰会议上的数学教育的教师在2001年11月，都将在华盛顿DC举行。新闻发布会涉及商界，数学界，决策组织和资助机构的高姿态的领导人，并侧重于本报告的政策含义，定位为数学界的计划，以提高数学教师教育。全国峰会吸引了250名学院和大学的数学教师，他们开始努力实施MET中提出的教师数学教育的愿景。来自全国各地约75个不同机构的参与者被邀请参加。全体会议确定了议题和问题，并将其置于更广泛的背景下。小组工作会议让与会者思考如何应对在当地执行MET建议的具体挑战。

The Mathematical Education of Teachers (MET), published in book form in August, 2001, (and currently available on the CBMS web site www.maa.org/cbms), is the mathematics community's agenda for improving the mathematical preparation of future teachers. The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS), which guided the development of this document, is launching MET with a Press Conference in September, 2001, (funded by the ExxonMobil Foundation) and a National Summit on the Mathematical Education of Teachers in November, 2001, both to be held in Washington DC. The Press Conference involves high profile leaders of the business community, the mathematics community, policy making organizations, and funding agencies, and focuses upon the policy implications of this report, positioning it as the mathematics community's plan to improve teacher education in mathematics. The National Summit engages 250 college and university mathematics faculty in the hard work of beginning to implement the vision of the mathematical education of teachers presented in MET. Participants are being invited in teams from about 75 diverse institutions across the country. Plenary sessions frame the issues and problems and set them in broader context. Small group working sessions engage the participants in thinking about how to address specific challenges in carrying out the recommendations MET locally.
