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

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
