From the Editor
0 ne of the Blue Ribbon Panel’s recommendations was that mathematics teachers continually upgrade their knowledge of mathematics and pedagogy. Like everything else, mathematics education is changing rapidly, and teachers must keep abreast of these changes. However, teachers are unable to do this on their own. When teachers find that opportunities for improving skills do not exist, they become frustrated. Often, no suitable courses or workshops are available, and, when they are, time is not provided to take them.
Teachers should encourage school boards, the ATA and postsecondary institutions to work together to provide appropriate professional development activities in mathematics education.
