[Profs Mat:8539] ENC: U.S.-Finland Workshop on Mathematics Education in K-12-Videos and Material NOW Available

Dear All,

The U.S. National Commission on Mathematics Instruction in collaboration with the University of Helsinki held a Workshop on Supporting Mathematics Teachers and Teaching in the United States and Finland few months ago.  The bilateral meeting of U.S. and Finnish mathematics educators was held August 1-2 at the University of Helsinki in Helsinki, Finland and was attended by 30 experts from both nations and approximately 70 international experts virtually.  The workshop was sponsored by Åbo Akademi University, Högskolestiftelsen i Österbotten, the National Science Foundation, and Svensk-Österbottniska samfundet.

Videos of the workshop sessions, presentations (in PDF format for download), and background readings are NOW available at http://sites.nationalacademies.org/PGA/biso/ICMI/PGA_173314.  Please forward this email to all your contacts in the mathematics education field.  A National Academies’ workshop report will be released in 2017. 

Thanks, and have a wonderful week!

Sincerely,
