I am delighted to announce that the 2014 Open Call for Outer Circle members is
now open.
You might already know that the Outer
Circle is made up 36 individuals who help the members of the
Committee in developing policy advice on a range of issues across
all phases of mathematics education, from early years through to
further and higher education. The expertise of the Outer Circle
complements that of the seven committee members, providing ACME with a
wide breadth of expertise. The support from the Outer Circle has
certainly been invaluable during my time as Chair.
Involvement of Outer Circle members is flexible, with members
commenting on drafts of consultation responses, sitting on
sub-groups and helping with sessions at the Outer Circle event and
Annual Conference. Some months there is lots to do and other
months, it is more quiet. I would encourage anyone to apply who
wants to make their mark on policy development in mathematics
education to apply.
The closing date this year is Monday 27
October.
For more information, please see our webpage, or get in touch with the ACME
Secretariat at acme@royalsociety.org
We look forward to receiving your
application!
Professor Stephen Sparks CBE FRS is the
Chair of ACME and a Professor of Geology at the University of
Bristol.
