Kevin Dykema, NCTM Past President
Increasing Opportunities for Student Success in Mathematics

We have seen that far too many students are not experiencing success in math. We can’t just blame the kids. There are steps we can take to address this. Let’s begin by examining the impact of structures, practices, and policies we have in place, and how we can create new structures, and implement effective teaching practices to engage students to succeed in math. 

Kevin Dykema is President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), an international mathematics education organization with more than 30,000 members.  He has taught 8th grade mathematics for over 25 years and is currently at Mattawan Middle School in southwest Michigan. Kevin is a frequent speaker before mathematics education audiences and has co-authored Productive Math Struggle, published by Corwin.  He has also written several articles for Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12.  Dykema loves working with others to help improve mathematics education for each and every student.

Please register for this dinner meeting here by Monday, April 28!
