MATH ADVISORY GROUPS

The establishment of the Mathematics Advisory Group in 2016 marked the evolution of TPSE Math from information-gathering activities toward a more action-oriented role. With the TPSE board, MAG members are leading the effort to carry out, scale up, and evaluate the effectiveness of major reforms. Efforts to reorganize the MAGs around new TPSE initiatives are currently underway.
