The Knowles Conference series provides an opportunity for scholars in education, and experienced teachers and Knowles Research and Teaching Fellows to meet and discuss important topics in science and mathematics education. Our expectation is that each conference in the series will contribute a significant product to the fields of mathematics and science education research and practice. The first conference was held September 19-21, 2006, on the essential research for the preparation of secondary science teachers. The second conference on the essential research for the preparation of mathematics teachers is expected to be held in May 2008.
