The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is seeking suggestions for experts to participate in the new study on Modernizing Mathematics Education for Grades 9-14 tasked with identifying the shared base of knowledge and practices would help all students be prepared to advance their future goals. They have been asked to consider at what point, if any, the modernized mathematics education could branch into different, possibly overlapping, pathways. They will analyze pedagogical approaches and types of student experiences that have been shown to be effective for teaching mathematical concepts, practices, and ways of reasoning. They will consider any ways to incorporate technology that have been shown to be effective to empower students and deepen their learning.
Using these suggestions, National Academies staff will be looking to build a committee of approximately 14 volunteer experts in addition to collecting information for potential speakers, participants, and peer reviewers for any publications resulting from the activity.
Based on the Statement of Task, staff are especially looking for expertise in the following areas:
• Mathematics, statistics, data science, and related fields
• Education researchers focused on high school teaching and learning in mathematics, statistics, data science, and related fields
• Education researchers focused on undergraduate teaching (at 2- and 4-year postsecondary institutions) and learning in mathematics, statistics, data science, and related fields
• Mathematics educators at high schools and 2- and 4-year postsecondary institutions
• State and district level leadership
• Mathematics department leadership at the postsecondary level
• Evaluation and assessment for mathematics teaching and learning
• Technology in high school and postsecondary mathematics
