Spend the afternoon prior to the NCTM Annual Meeting in Philadelphia with your CPAM colleagues and William G. McCallum, a nationally recognized expert on the Common Core Standards. Dr. McCallum led the work team that developed the Common Core Math Standard s and is currently involved in several projects focused on the implementation of these standards. His involvement with both the writing and the implementation of these standards will provide participants with expert guidance on how to proceed in the Common Core world. This is the eighth in the series of CPAM Leadership Seminars. Each year participants are challenged to make a more effective impact in mathematics education.

William G. McCallum is a University Distinguished Professor of Mathematics and Head of the Department of Mathematics at the University of Arizona. Dr. McCallum received his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Harvard University. He has been a member of the Harvard calculus consortium since 1989 and is the lead author of the consortium’s multivariable calculus and college algebra texts. He has received several awards including the Director’s Award for Distinguished Teaching Scholars from the National Science Foundation and the American Mathematical Society Centennial Research Fellowship.
