It was the TMP's good fortune to welcome Jo Boaler, Marie Curie Chair of the University of Sussex, and Ruth Parker, CEO, Mathematics Education Collaboration, at a webinar event to discuss community involvement promoting change in math education.
Jo and Ruth talked about their work with the public. Jo relates experiences with an interesting cross-section of US society, talking about research and mathematics-learning. The publication of her recent book has meant that interaction with publishers, journalists, parents & politicians brought many interesting reactions to the results of her work. Ruth, who Jo describes as “the best engager of the public I know!”, discussed her work with parents and the business community - how her organization has developed a network to bring these groups together to bring math to all students.The session sparked some insightful comments from the participants and we encourage you to continue the conversation here on the TMP Wiki page.
John House, TMP Project Coordinator, begins the thread here with some thoughts that came to mind as a result of his participation in the webinar.
