[RUME] ER's Special Issue: Report of Math Advisory Panel

[Richard Hake]

For those interested in math/science education, the AERA's 
"Educational Researcher" (2008) of December 2008 is a special issue 
on "Foundations for Success: The Final Report of the Mathematics 
Advisory Panel."

The abstract of Kelly's (2008) introductory article reads as follows:

"In March 2008, the National Mathematics Advisory Panel final report 
was released. This report was produced in response to an executive 
order from President George W. Bush. The report is important because 
of its subject matter-improving mathematics teaching and learning-its 
historically significant genesis, and the strong position that the 
report takes on the primacy of quantitative methods in education 
research. The author briefly introduces the report and then draws 
attention to some of the main points in the commentaries offered in 
this special issue of 'Educational Researcher.' The special issue 
ends with a rejoinder from the chair and co-chair of the report."
