About

Initial Mission Statement for the California-Nevada COMMIT:

We are a group of mathematics educators and education researchers across California and Nevada who seek to promote, encourage, and support high-quality inquiry teaching through collaboration and community. Through local conferences and workshops, informal gatherings, and formal mentoring we connect with, support, and learn from faculty and students at diverse institutions and with diverse identities and backgrounds towards the goal of providing a more meaningful and equitable education to all of our students. These connections also support collaboration between education researchers and practitioners in our community, both to inform and strengthen the research, and for the promotion and dissemination of research-based effective practices across our region.

Current Leadership Council:

• Elizabeth Thoren, Pepperdine University

• Megan Selbach-Allen, Stanford University

• Chris Rasmussen, San Diego State University

• Brian P Katz (BK), CSU Long Beach
