Beginning February 1, 1996, Ron Ward, an AMTE,member and active participant on the NCTM-L, will begin a discussion on the NCTM Professional Standards. Here is a chance for you to discuss this important document with your colleagues across the country. A few questions will be posted weekly. They will serve as the basis for discussion by interested members. AS NCTM proceeds to look at possible revisions of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards, we need to begin discussions of the Professional Standards so that we will be better able to address the issues they raise as the reform movement is under attack in various locales.
Background
An electronic listserv was established for AMTE members in 1993 and has been steadily growing ever since. From just last fall, November 1994, the list has grown from 34 subscribers to a current membership of 78. This past year has seen moderate action on the listserv. For example, discussion occurred on the use of technology in mathematics education classes, two surveys were distributed, requests were made for information, and announcements of AMTE and related events were posted.
To subscribe to the AMTE listserv, send an email message as follows:
In general, once you have subscribed, you will receive all messages posted to the listserv and you will be able to post your own messages or reply to messages. To interact with the AMTE listserv and its members, send all mail to: amte@csd.uwm.edu
- : The message should be sent to:
listserv@csd.uwm.edu- : Leave the SUBJECT line blank.
- : Type only the following in the body of the message:
subscribe amte
For example: subscribe amte DeAnn Huinker- : Send the message.
All administrative requests, such as to subscribe, unsubscribe, receive a list of help commands, and so on, should be addressed to listserv@csd.uwm.edu. You may subscribe and unsubscribe to the list as often as you would like as the computer processes these requests automatically. For example, if you are going to be on sabbatical or unavailable for any length of time, you may want to unsubscribe and then join again later. To unsubscribe, leave the SUBJECT line blank, type unsubscribe amte in the body of the message, and mail it to listserv@csd.uwm.edu.
If you have problems with the listserv or questions, you may send mail to myself at huinker@csd.uwm.edu or contact the system operator Dave Rasmussen at dave@csd.uwm.edu. The listserv is the fastest way to communicate with AMTE members. As more and more AMTE members and others join the listserv, the depth of conversation and communication will be strengthened. Join us today.
We thank DeAnn Huinker of University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for sending us this valuable information.
