We Need Elementary School Mathematics Specialists NOW

That’s what Skip Fennell, president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, says in his President’s Message column in this month’s edition of the NCTM News Bulletin. It’s a great article that touches on the importance of math education and covers some of the common pitfalls in how instructional coaches are selected.

This also gives me a chance to plug a great blog done by an instructional coach for science, What It’s Like on the Inside. She’s an excellent writer who’s really in-tune with what’s going on with science education in the state, and heartily recommended reading!
