Abstract

NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and its Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (1991) lend possible direction and meaning to the reform effort in mathematics education that is sweeping the country. The documents have been widely disseminated and discussed, and anecdotal evidence indicates that teachers of mathematics are seeking ways to enact the ideas contained in the standards documents. These documents are also inspiring the development of standards in other disciplines. But a number of questions are being raised as schools, districts, states, and provinces attempt to incorporate these Standards in changing their curriculum and pedagogy.
