Counselors play a key role in the learning community. They are in a position to know the challenges students face based on tracking and placement decisions. Administrators are an important component of the learning community. They have access to key information about policies that may inhibit or enhance this development effort. Of most importance, their active participation is a visible sign of the commitment of the organization to the process.
Students are a part of the learning community as well.
Having one or more students who have gone through the school's program participate in the process can bring an important perspective to this task. And involving current students at some stage in the process might also be useful. Each learning community will be unique. It is important to consider the role and involvement of any individual or group who may have an interest in what mathematics students learn and how they will learn it. Not all interested individuals and groups may be able to actively participate in the process, but all should be considered.
