Herman + Rasiej Mathematics Initiative

The 2020-2021 Lectures in Mathematics Education series, sponsored by the Herman + Rasiej Mathematics Initiative and USC Rossier School of Education, intends to highlight and provide important research targeted at improving teacher effectiveness in mathematics education. The series features leading scholars in the field and some presentations featured co-presenters (mathematics teachers or other research collaborators) who can speak to the impact of the research from a practice point of view. Each session has been hosted using Zoom, so we invite and encourage university faculty, graduate students, in-service/pre-service teachers, school administrators, and other educational stakeholders to see the recorded lectures by using the link below.
