The Fields Institute has been selected as the host for the province’s new KNAER (Knowledge Network for Applied Education Research) Mathematics Knowledge Network (2016-2021). Dr. Jarvis will serve as a member of the Expert Advisory Panel.
The Network will work with mathematics education stakeholders across Ontario to create four distinct Communities of Practice (Mathematics Leadership, Critical Transitions in Student Mathematical Development, Indigenous Knowledge and Mathematics Education, & Computational Thinking in Mathematics Education) and to provide opportunities for linking research and professional practice, with the goal of supporting Ontario’s Renewed Math Strategy (RMS). This program will be administered through the Fields Institute’s Centre for Mathematics Education (CME). As the Mathematics Knowledge Network Host, Fields will be the lead organization responsible for coordinating the collaborative activities of the network partners.
This new Network includes the following partners: Association francophone pour l’enseignement des mathématiques en Ontario; Brock University; Canadian Mathematical Society; Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Sciences; First Nations, Métis & Inuit Education Association of Ontario; Lakehead University; Nipissing University; Ontario Association for Mathematics Education; Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto; Ontario Mathematics Coordinators Association; Queen’s University; TVO; University of Ontario Institute of Technology; University of Windsor; Western University; Wilfrid Laurier University; and York University.
