The first session served to introduce NCTM attendees to the USNC, its functions, goals, and the service it can provide to the mathematical community. USNC/MI members Francis (Skip) Fennell (McDaniel College), and Gail Burrill (Michigan State University) led the second session, which provided an overview of ICME-11. Joseph Rosenstein (Rutgers University) moderated a panel on the final session entitled “Renew yourself by teaching math in a foreign country.” Panel members included Cathy Seeley, Stuart Moskowitz, Diane Schnell, and Kristen Miller. A version of the final session will also be presented at ICME-11.

2008 Summer Workshop Highlighted the Impact of Classroom Assessment USNC/MI member Sadie Bragg for Discussion Group 23 (DG-23): Current Problems and Challenges in Non-University Tertiary Mathematics Education (NUTI) at ICME -11, led a one-day workshop entitled, “Classroom Assessment: The Impact on Teaching and Learning in NUTI,” on Monday, July 14, 2008, after the ICME Congress. Workshop participation included invitees from several of the countries represented at the Congress.
