If you are interested in browsing through our articles, these are the best place to start!<\/p>\n<p>All articles published on this blog are written either by the editors or by a contributing\u00a0author following an\u00a0invitation\u00a0from\u00a0the editorial board. \u00a0All articles published on this\u00a0blog go through an editorial review\/revision\u00a0process prior to publication. We typically publish 24 articles per year.<\/p>\n<p>The goal for this blog is to stimulate reflection and dialogue by providing mathematicians with high-quality commentary and resources regarding teaching and learning. Because there is no simple solution to the challenges facing mathematics education, this blog will serve as a big tent, giving voice to multiple contributors representing a wide range of ideas. \u00a0Contributions will include\u00a0practical \u201cteaching tips,\u201d commentary on current mathematics education research, discussions of social\/curricular educational policy, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Our focus will include both postsecondary and PreK-12 education, because mathematics education does not abruptly stop and start anew as students make institutional transitions. \u00a0Issues that affect both high- and\u00a0low-achieving\u00a0students will be addressed, as well as issues that affect students who are minoritized in their mathematical communities. \u00a0We welcome ideas for posts and pointers to interesting materials or events; please feel free to add your contributions in the comments.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ams.org\/news?news_id=2383\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">listen as\u00a0AMS Public Awareness Officer Mike Breen interviews founding Editor-in-Chief Benjamin Braun<\/a> about math education and how this blog was created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are new to our blog, the editorial board suggests reading our year in review articles.
