The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) provides the platform to enhance teacher professional development and learning, to support research-informed practice, and to guide leadership endeavors that support continuous improvement of curriculum, instruction, and assessment... I will support NCSM in its vision of motivating equity and access for all students by ensuring that mathematics teachers and leaders with whom I interact work together to build a foundation of challenging mathematics that present all students with rich, engaging mathematical tasks and that require higher order thinking... I will focus on creating conversations in public venues around issues of bias and cultural differences that impact student learning and encourage teacher actions that will address gaps in student learning so that all students will be successful in mathematics.

I joined NCSM because the previous mathematics coordinator before myself explained that joining NCSM was expected and was part of the job and would provide me with a wealth of information about being a mathematics leader. I did join and have never been disappointed about what I have learned or experienced.
