Online Professional Development
"Our primary goal must be mathematical power for all students. We speak
often about providing rich opportunities for disadvantaged students. But among
the students we have in our mathematics programs are some that have either high
abilities or high interest, or both. Our programs must include opportunities for
these students as well. These students are likely to become significant users of
mathematics as our future scientists, mathematicians, statisticians, engineers,
technologists, and researchers. They deserve programmatic attention just as
students with other kinds of special needs do." Glenda Lappan, president NCTM, "Mathematics
for All" Must Include High-Ability and Highly Motivated Students
