Each year, NISE brings leaders in the mathematics and science education communities together for a roll-up-the-sleeves review of pressing topics in their fields. The experts asked to serve on the panels write briefing papers that are circulated prior to the Forum. Forum participants are accomplished researchers or educational leaders, who often are as expert as the panelists. Therefore, the small group discussions are as important as the panels they follow. In each discussion section, every participant is asked to briefly provide written feedback on the panel’s presentations. Summaries of the discussions also are collected. These individual and collective comments are reviewed after the Forum and help inform the Forum proceedings that are mailed to every participant. Primary support for the annual NISE Forum comes from the Institute’s grant from the National Science Foundation. This year, the Comprehensive Regional Assistance Center Consortium (Region VI) also is contributing to the Forum. The Center is supported by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education.
