- Summary:
- This monograph represents an effort to build upon and extend beyond the literature on school mathematics as discussed in "Mathematics and Science: Critical Filters for the Future." Three significant changes are discussed. The first change is the introduction of mathematics standards to the education community. A second change is a movement calling for educational leadership to more directly address issues of learning and teaching in schools. A third and related change in the educational landscape is the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which calls for a new level of accountability by requiring each state to implement accountability systems covering all public schools and public school students. This monograph advocates that calls for rigorous standards require thoughtful action and planning, and that the building blocks for engineering mathematical progress in any school are time, quality, and design. If educators are eager to listen, open to a variety of educational solutions, never content with just trial and error methods, and pressed to know why a method works with students, they represent the type of teachers and instructional leaders who can engineer changes in mathematics education.
