Purpose:

The purpose of the Expert Panel on Mathematics and Science Education is to oversee a valid and viable process for identifying and designating promising and exemplary programs in mathematics and science so that practitioners can make better-informed decisions in their ongoing efforts to improve the quality of student learning in mathematics and science. The Panel is composed of 14 experts in mathematics or science from around the country. It includes academics, association representatives, regional lab representatives, and practitioners.

Promising and Exemplary Programs:

• 2001 Exemplary and Promising Science Programs-The Department and the Expert Panel on Mathematics and Science Education have identified two exemplary and seven promising science programs.
• 2000 Promising Mathematics Programs-The Department and the Expert Panel on Mathematics and Science Education have identified two promising mathematics programs in addition to the ones recognized in October 1999.
• 1999 Exemplary and Promising Mathematics Programs-This publication features ten mathematics curriculum programs chosen as either promising or exemplary by the U.S. Department of Education's Mathematics and Science Education Expert Panel. The publication was produced by The Eisenhower National Clearinghouse for Mathematics and Science Education .

Program Timeline:

• The Expert Panel on Mathematics and Science Education reviewed mathematics programs in the Winter of 1998.
• The Panel reviewed science programs in the Spring of 2000.
