Setting the Standards

NCTM’s Role in the Reform of Mathematics Education

  • Chapter
Bold Ventures

Abstract

On March 21, 1989, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) held a press conference in Washington, DC, to release the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 1989). The Curriculum and Evaluation Standards had been under development for almost five years (Crosswhite, Dossey, & Frye, 1989), and public interest was high; the press conference, which some had expected to be quite small, was moved to the larger venue of the Willard Hotel in downtown Washington. Since NCTM had not organized such a large media event before, it was an exciting time for the organization.
