Christine Quisley MCTM VP of Higher Education Assistant Professor of Education, Southwest Minnesota State University
By now, you've probably heard that Minnesota has new Mathematics Standards. So, my question is: what's keeping you from taking a look?

We recently experienced our very first Endowment-sponsored math workshop for elementary teachers. Thirty teachers participated in this workshop which was held in person at Hamline University and remotely in Cloquet and Houston.
