Current and Emerging Realities in Mathematics and Science and Their Implications for Education Policy: A Conference Proposal

美国教育委员会建议召开一次小型的邀请会议，探讨公共政策在促进科学和数学教学中将研究与实践联系起来方面的作用。会议将把州和地方的决策者与数学和科学教育工作者和研究人员聚集在一起，目的是发展持续的沟通途径，旨在增加对彼此角色和需求的理解，并提高他们共同努力改善公共政策和数学和科学教育的能力。会议的成果将是一套建议的方法/发现，将分发给更广泛的决策者和数学和科学教育界。预计这些调查结果将确定值得进一步探讨的主题，并将在后续项目中加以处理。

The Education Commission of the States proposes to hold a small, invitational conference to explore the role of public policy in facilitating the connection of research to practice in the teaching of science and mathematics. The conference will bring together state and local policymakers with mathematics and science educators and researchers with an end toward developing ongoing avenues of communication aimed at both increasing understanding of each others roles and needs and to enhance their ability to work together to improve both public policy and mathematics and science education.The product of the conference will be a set of proposed approaches/findings that will be distributed to the wider policymaker and mathematics and science educator communities. It is anticipated that these findings will identify topics warranting further exploration that will be addressed in follow-up projects.
