About This Event
Despite efforts to improve mathematics education in the United States, the August 2001 National Assessment of Educational Progress report found that a majority of children are still unable to perform at a basic level in mathematics and that an achievement gap between white and minority students continues to persist in that subject. A seminar held at AEI on March 4 examined the evidence regarding the success or failure of this second approach. AEI senior fellow Lynne V. Cheney moderated the discussion. Michael McKeown, a professor at Brown University, delivered the main presentation. McKeown cofounded Mathematically Correct, a group formed to strengthen mathematics education in California. His talk was followed by comments from Gail Burrill, past president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics; mathematics professor and researcher David Klein; Lee V. Stiff, the current president of the NCTM; and Tom Loveless, a scholar at the Brookings Institution and the director of the Brown Center on Education Policy.
