Please post this request for participation in a survey of the publishing experiences of mathematics education researchers on urban and equity issues. The survey is anonymous and voluntary. <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jnYxiBi6lv5LXayV3y7RzQ_3d_3d">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jnYxiBi6lv5LXayV3y7RzQ_3d_3d</a> Title: An Exploration of the Experiences of Urban and Equity Focused Mathematics Education Researchers Regarding Opportunities for Publication Principal Investigators: Drs. Lou Matthews, Pier Junor Clarke, Ollie Manley, Kezia McNeal, David Stinson, Christine Thomas Georgia State University Atlanta, Georgia Researchers of Urban and Equity Mathematics Education Issues! We invite you to participate in a study that will examine what researchers, who focus on urban and equity issues in mathematics education, perceive about the opportunities available for publishing research in mainstream mathematics education journals. The purpose of this investigation is to explore the experiences and perspectives of mathematics education researchers concerning the opportunites (and/or challenges) in publishing research on urban and equity issues in mathematics education journals. The research undertaken will assist in expanding the conversation regarding the opportunities (and/or challenges) that are present for scholars who examine urban and equity issues in mathematics education. If you participate in this study, you will be asked to complete a survey to assess researchers perspectives on publishing research that is focused on urban and equity issues in mathematics education. The survey will be completed online. You can complete the survey using any computer that has access to the Internet; it should take no more that 3045 minutes to complete the survey. If you are interested in learning more about this study, please visit the following link: <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jnYxiBi6lv5LXayV3y7RzQ_3d_3d">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=jnYxiBi6lv5LXayV3y7RzQ_3d_3d</a> Thank you for your assistance, and your time!

Blackmathed Listserv Message: Educational Testing Service - HBCU Elementary Math Education Project - recommendations for presenters

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:28:00 GMT

Hi all, this is a forward on behalf of the ETS LM Good Morning Your name was forwarded to me as a resource for help in contacting possible presenters for our Saturday Mathematics Workshops. I have attached a brief overview of an ETS Tennessee State University project entitled Strengthening Instruction in Tennessee Elementary Schools: Focus on Mathematics (SITES-M). One component of the project is a series of Saturday Mathematics Workshop in Tennessee (Nashville, Jackson, Memphis, Knoxville and Chattanooga) where K-4 elementary school teachers come together to unwrap TN standards for elementary school mathematics, learn to teach the standards and assess the standards within the classroom. We are looking for experts in K-6 mathematics education to act as facilitators at the workshops and present the information in the format which ETS math specialists have put together. We are looking for dynamic facilitators who are familiar with the state standards and can convey the information to the audience in a lively, interactive manner. Our first workshop for the 2008-2009 school year is set to take place October, 18, 2008 in Memphis, TN the topic will be geometry. I would appreciate it if you would recommend anyone you feel may meet these qualifications whereupon one of our math assessment specialists would contact him/her with detailed information about the workshop content. Thank you very much. Lisa D. Belfield <<SITES-M Overview for GR report Aug 08.doc>> ________________________________________ Lisa D. Belfield, Ed.D.

Black Mathematics Education Listserv Message: [FWD] NMP Report

Fri, 14 Mar 2008 03:19:00 GMT

>>> "Martin, Danny" <<a href="mailto:dbmartin@uic.edu&gt">dbmartin@uic.edu&gt</a>; 03/13/08 10:38 PM >>> If folks have not seen the final NMP report, it is attached. It is interesting to note the move toward experimental studies of interventions with African American students. It is also interesting to note?if my reading of the references is correct?that not a single African American math education scholar was cited. I also did a word search and "equity" had zero hits. The section on social, emotional, and affective factors is especially weak, with its emphasis on "math anxiety." The chapter on teachers and teacher education ignores everything that has been generated about culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy. The chapter is merely a commercial for one strand of research carried out, essentially, by one researcher and colleagues. Surely, that is not the definitive word on mathematics teaching and the preparation of mathematics teachers for African American children. I'll mention one more interesting observation: the simultaneous discussion of "low achievers" and "students with disabilities." If you can read that juxtaposition without hearkening back to the work of Deutsch and associates in the 1960's, more power to you. I'm assuming low-achievers is coded language and that advocating for "explicit methods of instruction" (p. 48) will have interesting implications for African American children. Scary, scary stuff. Clearly, these are my opinions, but I encourage folks to read the report with a critical eye and keeping the interests of black children at the forefront of their thinking. -dm Danny Bernard Martin, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Mathematics Education and Mathematics Chair, Curriculum and Instruction Faculty Affiliate, African American Studies office: 3238 EPASW phone: 312.413.0304 fax: 312.996.8134 <a href="http://education.uic.edu/directory.cfm?page=faculty_info&netid=dbmartin">http://education.uic.edu/directory.cfm?page=faculty_info&netid=dbmartin</a> mailing address: University of Illinois at Chicago College of Education (MC 147) 1040 W.

Lou Edward Matthews (Editor-in-Chief), Pier Junor Clarke, Ollie Manley, Kezia McNeal, David Stinson, and Christine Thomas. "Illuminating Urban Excellence" JUME is a peer-reviewed, open-access, academic journal, the only one of its kind devoted entirely to the scholarship of mathematics education </s pan> within the urban domain. JUME was created to open up a space for research that brings to the fore the strength and successes in urban communities, shedding light on the complexities of scholarship, teaching, and learning of mathematics. Articles for the inaugural Fall/Winter 2008 issue will feature work from emerging and noted scholars whose research in the urban domain offers important and innovative contributions to the theory and practice of mathematics teaching, learning, and policy. JUME's Advisory Board is comprised of noted national scholars in urban education: Drs. Patricia Campbell, University of Maryland; Eric Gutstein, University of Illinois-Chicago; Joyce King, Georgia State University; Danny Martin, University of Illinois-Chicago; Eric Walker, Teachers College-Columbia University; and Dorothy White, University of Georgia. . The home page of JUME is <a href="http://education.gsu.edu/jume">http://education.gsu.edu/jume</a>. Inaugural Issue - Fall/Winter 2008 Call for Manuscripts Deadline: May 1, 2008
