    Statement: NCTM must maintain strength in its leadership and advocacy to address the many challenges that face mathematics education today, and provide clear guidance and support for all its members. The Council must use its resources in more innovative ways, such as providing intensive, sustained professional development on Principles to Actions electronically and designing additional electronic resources (video library, digital lessons) to better support teachers, who must implement today’s challenges. Moreover, NCTM must leverage the expertise of digital communities and social networking to design and develop strategic professional development opportunities that will capitalize on these growing online resources and also bring a new generation of students and teachers into the organization. By embracing the work of many educators, I am positioned both to support the millennials who are changing the landscape of mathematics education and to understand the challenges felt by many veteran teachers. If I am elected to the Board of Directors, I will continue to speak passionately and tirelessly about policy issues affecting mathematics education, listen intently to others to seek their insights on significant issues, and promote equity and excellence for all.
