Working in collaboration with the AMTE Board of Directors and the many site contributors, the team expects most changes to be finalized during the first part of the 2014-2015 academic year.

The National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) affirm the centrality of research-based, mathematically focused, formative assessment—a key element in the national effort to improve mathematics proficiency.

This requires adequate attention in the preparation of new teachers of mathematics and in the continuing education and professional development of current teachers.
