A History & Perspective
Rick Scott
April 18, 2008
Graduation Requirements (graduating class 87-88 & 88-89) To graduate, a student shall earn ≥ 21
units in G9-12. 12 shall include at least the following content & competencies.
[Some of the competencies included within the content requirements may be acquired prior to grade 9.]
Language Arts 4, Math 2, Science 2
NMPMSE Beginnings – late 80s
State Math CoalitionsFunding from MSEB/NRC – Ken Hoffman
NCTM Standards & NSF Systemic Initiatives
Driving Force in NM – Hilde Howden 501(c)3
New Mexico Alliance for ScienceDriving Force in NM – Vicente Llamas
Judith Kaye at LANL
Someone from Colorado & AAAS
The Merger – early 90s
Each group was sending reps to otherSo they merged
Co-PresidentsSusan Gardenhire (Math), Vicente Llamas
(Science)Articles of Incorporation (By-Laws came later)
Usually there were five 3-hour meetings per year
Main accomplishment was communication
CAMSE – A bump in the road
1992 – Council to Advance Math & Science Ed (CAMSE)Created by Exec Order (92-01) of Gov. King
We had thought it would oversee NSF-funded SIMSE
But its stated-mission mirrored ours
CAMSE did become our “Advisory Board”
1995 w/ Gov. Johnson CAMSE rested
Year by Year Highlights
1994 – National Alliance of State Science & Math Coalitions (NASSMC)NM as a memberVicente on the Board
1995 – Reception at State Math/Sci Conference1996 – Sponsored 2nd NM Math Ed Survey1997 – Summer Parent/Child Conference
In ABQ in collaboration w/ SEDL
1998 – Licensure Entry-Level Competencies & “White Paper” on “data concerns”
Year by Year Highlights
1999 – Two Funded ProjectsIke - Regional Roundtables on P-16 Partnerships for
Teacher Preparation & Development (Las Cruces, ABQ, Gallup, Portales)
NASSMC/NASA - Linking Leaders (brought in Kurt Steinhaus and Jack Jekowski)
2000 – State Board of Ed requestHow many students graduate from NM high schools
w/o Algebra & w/ only 2 years of science?
Statewide Professional Development Summit
Other Y2K Highlights
“The Minnick Report” on Professional Dev
The Partnership became the Advisory Board for the RETA project
CESE became the Advisory Board for the PartnershipThe Council for Excellence in Science (and Math)
Education (aka DUCKS) was created in 1996
Initially to support the teaching of evolution in the 1996 NM Science Standards
Most members are in the ABQ-Los Alamos axis
The Years Roll On
2001 – Before It’s Too Late (Glenn Commission)So the National Math Panel Report seems like “déjà
vu all over again”
Board Retreat in RuidosoSteinhaus replaced Scott as Co-Prez
2002 – 1st Statewide NSF MSP proposalThe vision of the NM-MSP is to increase sci, math &
tech literacy across the state’s diverse population focusing on children who are currently being left behind & ensuring that all children will be able to participate fully & contribute to our national economic health & security.
And On
2003 – Another shot at an NSF MSP
2004 – Start of planning for a Summit $20K from NASSMC/NASA/USDOEd
Decision to collaborate with NM First
2005 – First ITV Partnership meetingVicente & Kurt step down as Co-Presidents
Barbara Kimbell & Jack Jekowski assume
Nov. 2005 – The Town Hall/Summit
Proposed creation of Math/Science Unit in PED
& a Math & Science Advisory Council
2006 Legislature funded Math & Sci BureauSec García created the MSB in July 2006
Sec García appointed Council with a Rep from the Partnership
