- Mathematics
Teacher Educator - The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
(NCTM) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) are
excited to announce their new collaborative venture - a joint online
journal: Mathematics Teacher Educator. Mathematics Teacher
Educator will contribute to building a professional knowledge base for
mathematics teacher educators that stems from, develops, and
strengthens practitioner knowledge. The journal will provide a means
for practitioner knowledge related to the preparation and support of
teachers of mathematics to be not only public, shared, and stored, but
also verified and improved over time (Hiebert, Gallimore, and Stigler
2002).
Mathematics Teacher Educator is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal for
practitioners. Initially, two issues of the journal will be published
each year.
The primary audience of Mathematics Teacher Educator is practitioners
in mathematics teacher education, with practitioner broadly defined as
anyone who contributes to the preparation and professional development
of pre-K–12 pre-service and in-service teachers of mathematics.
Mathematics teacher educators include mathematics educators,
mathematicians, teacher leaders, school district mathematics experts,
and others.
A full call for manuscripts and the online submission and reviewer registration system can be found at http://www.nctm.org/mte
- Co-Editor
of SERJ: The International Association for Statistical Education (IASE)
is starting a search for the next co- editor of Statistics Education
Research Journal (SERJ), its peer-reviewed electronic journal. The new
editor will serve a four-year term starting 1 January 2012 and ending
31 December 2015. The new co- editor will replace Peter Petocz
(Macquarie U., Australia), who is ending his four-year tenure in Dec
2011, and join Bob delMas (U. of Minnesota, USA), the continuing
co-editor until Dec. 2013. Click here for more information.
- The Developing Teaching Expertise @ Mathematics
(Dev-TE@M) project at the University of Michigan School of Education is
recruiting teacher educators who work with practicing elementary
teachers to pilot our module, Representing and Comparing Fractions in
Elementary Mathematics Teaching, during Winter 2012. Click here for more information.
- STaR Program - Applications being accepted for 2012
STaR Program. The STaR Program provides early career faculty in
mathematics education support and opportunities to network with other
new mathematics teacher educators. The program consists of a summer
institute (July 15-20, 2012), academic year networking via electronic
means, and a regroup session in conjunction with the annual meeting of
the AMTE. The third cohort of STaR Fellows is being recruited.
Eligibility is limited to faculty with a doctorate in mathematics
education in their first or second year of an academic appointment as a
mathematics educator at a U.S. institution of higher education. The
faculty appointment may be in a department of mathematics or a
school/college/department of education.

International Realistic Mathematics Education Conference: The Design
and Use of Learning Progressions in Mathematics Education - We cordially invite you to join us September 23 – 25, 2011, in Boulder,
Colorado, for the Third International Realistic Mathematics Education
Conference (RME3), held at the University of Colorado at Boulder
situated on campus in the scenic foothills of the Rocky Mountains. This
three-day conference is sponsored by the University of Colorado School
of Education and the Freudenthal Institute USA.Realistic Mathematics Education (RME), widely respected throughout the
world as an exemplary approach to mathematics education, is a Dutch
approach to design of curriculum, assessment and instruction that has
evolved over the last 30 years out of the work of Hans Freudenthal and
research faculty at the Freudenthal Institute. Click here for registration.
- Considering the Future of K-12 STEM Curricula and
Instructional Design: Stimulating and Supporting Innovative Research
and Development - The rapid growth in features and use of educational media (from e-books
to applets) makes it possible to envision dramatic changes in the kinds
of instructional materials and environments that can support STEM
learning. Questions that emerge when the field considers new tools and
technology-rich environments include:
What will a high-impact, technology-intensive STEM learning environment
look like in the near and long-term future?
What materials development and research are required to make this
vision possible?
What design, development, and diffusion processes are most likely to
produce new, effective approaches to STEM education?
To address these questions, two workshops were convened to identify and
analyze the needs and opportunities for innovative work. Participants
included education futurists, researchers in the STEM content and
education disciplines and specialists in instructional technology,
cognitive psychology, policy, museum and educational media. Workshop
discussions provided a rich source of ideas for examination by those
interested in promoting and strengthening STEM learning. The Workshop
Series report, Considering the Future of K-12 STEM Curricula and
Instructional Design: Stimulating and Supporting Innovative Research
and Development identifies critical research and development
activities and calls upon funding agencies and the field to focus
attention on these activities. The 50-page report is free and
available for download at: http://www.mathcurriculumcenter.org/conferences/stem/index.php

Grants are available from the Association for Women in
Mathematics. Deadlines: Feb 1, May 1, Oct 1, every year.

The purpose of SIG/RME is to promote and to disseminate
research, development, and evaluative efforts in mathematics education,
and to promote and encourage scholarly and productive exchanges among
members of all the constituencies that affect, or are affected by,
research on the learning and teaching of mathematics.
