Supporting Teachers to Take on New Reforms in Mathematics Education in the United States and Finland: A Workshop
A structured, public-facing event or series of events convening a range of participants to explore topics of mutual interest. The USNC/MI, a standing committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, planned a workshop at which U.S.
and Finnish mathematics educators could exchange information and ideas about the preparation of new mathematics teachers and the means of providing them with support and professional development throughout their careers. While this is not the first time U.S.
and Finnish mathematics educators have discussed educational practices, this workshop focused primarily on teacher development in both nations in the context of mathematics education. For the past 17 years, the U.S.
National Commission on Mathematics Instruction (USNC/MI) has held workshops with mathematics educators from countries that typically perform well on international assessments and have a history of strong mathematics education programs, such as Japan, China, and South...
An ad hoc committee will organize an international workshop on August 1-2, 2016 in Helsinki, Finland to discuss supporting new and experienced teachers to take on new reforms in mathematics education. E ducators, teachers, and top researchers from both nations will share major initiatives and reforms, as well as information on the educational systems of the two countries, from teacher preparation to in-service teacher development.
The workshop will also address the educational context for mathematics education in each country, such as student diversity, new curriculum initiatives, teacher preparation, math knowledge for elementary teachers, and demands and expectations for the teaching profession.
A rapporteur-authored workshop summary will be issued following the workshop. Board on International Scientific Organizations Ana Ferreras (202) 334-1697 [email protected] Our peer-reviewed reports present the evidence-based consensus of committees of experts.
