Evidence of Quality and Impact

The quality of outlets for my work during the evaluation period includes blind peer-reviewed national journals (Teaching Children Mathematics, Mathematics Teaching in the Middle Grades, Journal of Computing in Mathematics and Science) in addition to monographs from the leading mathematics education professional organizations such as AMTE: Association for Mathematics Teacher Educators and NCTM: The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics

 Presentations made during the evaluation period include six international/national presentations and one regional/state presentations. As a member of the larger mathematics education community, I view presentations at these conferences as a means of sharing my scholarship of discovery and application as defined by the Provost’s guidelines for narratives.

  •  Description of Journals:

Teaching Children Mathematics
Teaching Children Mathematics is an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. It serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and a source of activities and pedagogical strategies for mathematics education grades Pre-K through 5. This journal has an 11-20% acceptance rate and a circulation rate of 40,000. offers activities, lesson ideas, teaching strategies, and problems through in-depth articles, departments, and features. Great resources for elementary teachers, preservice teachers, and teacher educators.

Mathematics Teaching in the Middle Grades.
Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School is an official journal of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. It serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and a source of activities and pedagogical strategies for mathematics education grades 6 through 8.  This journal has an 11-20% acceptance rate and a circulation rate of 40,000.

The Journal of Computing of Mathematics and Science Teaching
JCMST is a highly respected scholarly journal which offers an in-depth forum for the interchange of information in the fields of science, mathematics, and computer science. JCMST is the only periodical devoted specifically to using information technology in the teaching of mathematics and science. It is peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers, and usually three reviewers, of the journal's international Editorial Review Board of experts in fields specifically matching the journal topics. Papers are reviewed, double-blind, in full publishable form The acceptance rate for all AACE journals is 10-19%.

  • Description of AMTE Monographs and NCTM Yearbooks

AMTE Monographs

The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) is an organization designed to bring together individuals interested in mathematics teacher education in order to promote and improve the education of preservice and inservice teachers of mathematics. Two of its goals are to facilitate communication and to promote collaboration among mathematics teacher educators, including those in Colleges of Education, in Departments of Mathematics, and outside higher education settings. In an effort to support these goals, AMTE has published five monographs and is in the process of publishing the sixth and seventh monographs

NCTM Yearbooks

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a public voice of mathematics education supporting teachers to ensure equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students through vision, leadership, professional development and research.
