Improving school mathematics education is a continuing effort. Thus, a number of initiatives related to Principles and Standards have already begun. Meanwhile, other groups within the Council are working to capitalize and build on Principles and Standards . One group will coordinate efforts to reach out to administrators. Another, the Standards Impact Research Group, will consider how the overall process of Standards -based education improvement set forth in the document can be better understood and subsequently refined to meet the goal of improving students' learning.
Calculators enable students to tackle highly complex and interesting mathematics problems.
So please join us in celebrating the release of Principles and Standards for School Mathematics . It marks an important milestone. But the release is just one step in our continuing efforts to improve mathematics education for all students. Please stay involved as we strive to move forward.
