:: Conference Organizers

Planning and operation of Future of the High School Mathematics conference is a collaborative effort of partners who are active in designing, developing, and implementing cutting-edge practices in high school mathematics education.

Math Is More is a discussion forum for work toward a national consensus on improving U. S. mathematics education. Leaders of the group will coordinate planning of the issues forum on the first 1.5 days of the conference.

Leaders of the following curriculum projects have been involved in planning the conference, and their most recent work will be featured in showcase sessions:

• 
  Core-Plus Mathematics Project
• 
  Interactive Mathematics Program
• 
  The CME Project at EDC
• 
  Math Connections
• 
  SIMMS
• 
  University of Chicago School Mathematics Project

Faculty and staff of the University of Maryland Center for Mathematics Education are engaged in research, teaching, and service designed to build the national capacity for improving the mathematical education of all students, especially those from ethnic and racial minorities in urban settings. The Center coordinates planning and provides logistical support for conference operations.

In addition to the core organizing group, insights for planning the Future of High School Mathematics conference have been gained from conversations and correspondence with representatives of a variety of professional education and mathematics organizations.

The conference organizers have obtained National Science Foundation support for conference operations and participant expenses
