Howley, Aimee; Howley, Craig B.; Helm, Virginia – Appalachian Collaborative Center for Learning, Assessment, and Instruction in Mathematics (ACCLAIM), 2007
Rural schools, like others in the nation, are enjoined to use national and state standards as the basis for educational reform. Moreover, national standards for mathematics education were established early (1989) and have been disseminated widely. Nevertheless, little is known about the dynamics of standards-based reform of mathematics in rural…
