SMHC supports The Opportunity Equation

June 10, 2009

Today, the Carnegie Corporation of New York – Institute for Advanced Study Commission on Mathematics and Science Education released a new report, “The Opportunity Equation: Transforming Mathematics and Science Education for Citizenship and the Global Economy.” This report – which makes recommendations to “do school differently” and “mobilize for excellence in mathematics and science education” – is the culmination of two years of work by a distinguished Commission of 22 mathematicians, scientists, educators, public officials, and business and nonprofit leaders. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan expressed his support for the report at its launch today, while SMHC and several organizations represented on the SMHC Task Force – including the National Education Association, the American Federation of Teachers, and The New Teacher Project – also signed a statement to show their support for the report’s objectives.
