The focus will be on Quantitative Reasoning in STEM, with experts (including Gail Jones, Patrick Thompson, Les Steffe, Bernard Madison, Richard Duschl, Richard
Lehrer, Christina Schwarz, and Arthur Baroody) from QR and other interrelated themes attending. If you have any questions, please contact Robert Mayes (<a href="mailto:rmayes@georgiasouthern.edu">rmayes@georgiasouthern.edu</a>). Also, please pass this along
to any party that might be interested.<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><br></font>For more information about the conference, you can visit the International STEM Research Symposium: Quantitative Reasoning in Mathematics and Science website, <a href="http://coe.georgiasouthern.edu/QR/symposium.html">http://coe.georgiasouthern.edu/QR/symposium.html</a>.
The website includes links for hotel information, travel information, online registration, and information about the symposium and Savannah. <br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><br></font>We expect the symposium to be a very productive setting, while also affording the opportunity to take advantage of all Savannah has to offer on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Some participants are planning on staying until Sunday or Monday to take
advantage of the historic and beautiful setting. I look forward to seeing those that can attend.<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><br></font>Best,<br><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#144fae"><br></font>Kevin<br>---------------------<br>Kevin C.

efforts in the theme areas at the collaborating institutions.<b> Dr. Larry
Hatfield</b> leads the WISDOM<sup>e</sup> Research Collaborative housed at
the University of Wyoming, which brings research teams to the symposium in the
areas of mathematics as lived experience, technology in teaching mathematics,
and quantitative reasoning. <b>Dr. John Moore</b> is PI of the
NSF Pathways project which is leading efforts to develop learning progressions
in the environmental sciences and exploring the role of quantitative reasoning
in environmental science teaching. <b>Dr. Robert Mayes</b> leads
the WISDOM<sup>e</sup> Quantitative Reasoning team and is a Co-PI on the NSF
Pathways project leading the Quantitative Reasoning theme. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; position: static; z-index: auto; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;
