Abstract:
|
The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) recently released the Mathematics Education of Teachers report, which outlines recommendations for how mathematical science departments can help educate future teachers of mathematics at the K-12 level. The American Statistical Association is supporting an Inaugural Conference on Statistics in Teacher Preparation to be held in 2003 to help teacher educators carry out these recommendations as they relate to statistics. Some goals of this conference are to create an awareness among teacher educators of what's needed to better prepare K-12 teachers to give instruction in probability and statistics at the K-12 level and to build a leadership team that can periodically meet to examine issues and provide guidance in methods to improve teacher preparation. The panelists will be discussing these goals and the role that statisticans can play in furthering these goals and the recommendations of the MET report.
