-IT r. - ~ . fir 1001001 Deborah Loewenberg BaU is a professor of educational studies at the University of Michigan and currently serves on the Mathematical Sciences Education Board (MSEB), was a member of the Commis- sion on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, and also the Glenn Com- mission. Her work as a researcher and teacher educator draws directly and indirectly on her long experience as an elementary classroom teacher. With elementary school mathematics as the main context for the work, Ball studies the practice of teaching and the processes of learning to teach. Her work also exam- ines efforts to improve teaching through policy, reform initiatives, and teacher education. Ball's publications include articles on teacher learning and teacher education, the role of subject matter knowledge in teaching and learning to teach, endemic challenges of teaching; and the relations of policy and practice in instructional reform. Ball was on the writing team for the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCrM) Professional Teaching Standards. Hyman Bass is the Roger Lyndon collegiate professor of mathematics and professor of mathematics education at the s\~d 'e' University of Michigan. His mathematical research publications cover broad areas of algebra, with connections to geometry, topology and number theory.

Bass is presi(lent-elect of the American Mathematical Society, past chair of the MSEB at the National Research Council, and the Committee on E(lucation of the American Mathematical Society, and he is President of the Inter- national Commission on Mathematics Instruction. During the past four years, he has been collaborating with Deborah Ball and her research group at the Univer- sity of Michigan on the mathematical knowledge and resources entailed in the teaching of mathematics at the elementary level. In all of this work, a major chal- lenge has been to buil(1 bridges between (liverse professional communities anti stakehol(lers involve(1 in mathematics education, both here and abroad.
