About the Iris M. Carl Equity Address
The
Iris M. Carl Equity Address was established in 2008 in honor of Iris Carl, a
past president of NCTM who championed mathematics literacy for all.
The
Iris M. Carl Equity Address posthumously recognizes Carl's work in placing NCTM
at the forefront of the public debate on the importance of curricular
standards. She was also a well-respected public voice in support of mathematics
education through testimony before Congress and in the news media. Carl served
as NCTM president from 1990 to 1992. In 1997, she received the Mathematics
Education Trust Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of her lifelong
commitment to mathematics education. Carl died in 2004.
The
address features a selected speaker at the NCTM Annual Meeting and Exposition.
Each year a distinguished mathematics educator, noted for making significant
contributions to research in education equality, will be invited to give the
address.
