<b>Invitation to Attend One-day Workshop<br>
Classroom Assessment: The Impact on Teaching and Learning in<br>
Non-University Tertiary Institutions</b><br>
Sadie Bragg, a member of the United States National Commission on
Mathematics Instruction (USNCMI) and a co-chair with George Ekol
(Kyambogo University, Uganda) for DG 23- Current Problems and Challenges
in Non-University Tertiary Mathematics Education (NUTI) at ICME -11, will
lead a one-day workshop entitled, "Classroom Assessment: The Impact
on Teaching and Learning in NUTI," on Monday, July 14, 2008, after
the ICME Congress. Marilyn Mays, a former member of USNCMI,
and Cheryl Cleaves, the Executive Director of the American Mathematical
Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), will be
co-leaders. <br><br>
The workshop is funded by The United States' National Science Foundation
and co-sponsored by the USNCMI and AMATYC. It is designed to
explore further the topic of classroom assessment and will be an
outgrowth of the DG-23 discussion related to this issue.
Participation is by invitation only and will include invitees from
several of the countries represented at the Congress. DG-23
participants/attendees will be given preference for selection for the
workshop. Note that the number of seats available is limited.
Those invited to attend will be funded for two additional nights of

available for travel expenses (e.g. airfare, taxi, etc.)</b><br><br>
For more information about participating in the workshop, contact Sadie
Bragg, Professor of Mathematics and Provost, Borough of Manhattan
Community College, The City University of New York at
