What if you are asked to or serve on a district oversight committee charged with guaranteeing that your math curriculum committees are doing what is best for the students in your district. Of course I realize that the primary school board function is to make policy to be carried out by administrative staff, teachers, and other employees. I also realize that you probably have an administrator or supervisor designated as Curriculum Coordinator whose job assignments include improving mathematics education. Different school subjects require different teaching techniques, and one person responsible for all subjects will naturally look for a common approach, which is something impossible to find. Larger school districts, of course, employ subject matter specialists to develop and monitor curriculums.
Most school districts seem financially unable to pay the salaries involved.
Therefore, it seems reasonable that board members be allowed to serve on district curriculum committees, including a K-12 mathematics group. Here are some principles and ideas to be considered. It failed because many elementary school teachers did not understand those principles and were unable to help students do so. Political math followed the new math and was developed commercially by non-mathematicians. The local school board is not in any way bound to use one of the programs we have recommended.
