>Dear Pinholers,

I just got this message from my colleagues in the California
Mathematics Council (CMC). This Wednesday afternoon, the state's
curriculum commission is meeting to discuss the new Mathematics
framework. Science teachers helped the commission change some of
their ideas about how science should be taught, and now math
teachers, parents, and other interested Californians have another
opportunity to do so. Please read on and share this information. I
hope some of you can make it to Sacramento this Wednesday! Science
teachers, your support is welcome and wanted!
Cheers,
Lori

Curriculum Commission Meeting
4 pm, Wednesday, July 21
>
>>The Curriculum Commission meets at the new CDE bldg, 1430 N Street,
>>across from the Capitol, in Sacramento.

 From Mike Contino of CMC:

> We've been working closely w/ Jackie Goldberg who got herself
>appointed to the Curriculum Commission. CMC will have a statement
>to read and CMC and Jackie NEED YOUR SUPPORT! This meeting will
>only be an hour long and it'll be worth even a 2+ hour drive.
>Afterwards people can get together to talk about where things stand,
>over drinks and dinner. There will be ANOTHER crucial meeting in
>early December and then the most crucial one at the state board
>meeting March 9-10 (and the on-line comment period from August 10
>through early October.)
>
>We especially need classroom teachers, parents, and just plain folk
>who don't want to see the new Framework be a repeat of past mistakes.
>
>CMC DOES NOT have email capabilities to its membership so we are
>relying on you all not just to attend, but to spread the word to
>others.
>>
>>It's VERY important to CMC that many people show up to this
>>meeting. It's about the issue of the revised Framework on which we
>>have not had any input so far. This could help turn the corner on
>>mathematics instruction freedom in CA, and be of particular
>>importance to our underserved students.
