The idea to form the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) was conceived in 1968 during the annual conference of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics NCTM, when a group of supervisors of mathematics met to discuss the issues related to leadership in mathematics education. Recognizing the need for leaders to be well informed and to network with one another, these visionaries recommended the establishment of the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics. The first meeting of NCSM took place a year later in 1969 in Minneapolis. Thirty-five supervisors attended. ^[1]

NCSM has earned the reputation as an organization concerned with leadership issues in mathematics education, having close to 3,000 members across the USA and Canada, and internationally. NCSM holds annual national and regional conferences that precede those held by NCTM for American teachers, as well as several Leadership Academies, held during the summer months.

Publications

NCSM publishes the "NCSM Journal of Mathematics Education Leadership" twice yearly, in the spring and fall. The purpose of the NCSM Journal is to provide research, issues, trends, programs, policy, and practice in mathematics education. ^[2]

NCSM also publishes Position Papers regarding critical actions that lead to improved student achievement in mathematics ^[3]

One of the most recent publications is the "PRIME Leadership Framework." This publication provides research-affirmed leadership guidelines and a structure for discussions intended to result in improved teacher and student learning ^[4]
