Math Education is such a hot topic. Last night, Richard Mills, NYS Comissioner on Education was on PBS on NY Learns. The teacher certification process was discussed and what they still do not realize is that the math ed requirements for a certificate leave out engineers and finance people who might actually take the punge into teaching. The Math content that is required is Math that engineers have not taken but have little to do with High School Math. Why not reverse engineer what courses teachers should take by studying the content of the Regents, SAT and AP exams?
