Announcement and Call for Papers: 
The Adults Learning Mathematics  (ALM-7)
	Conference 

ALM7

July 6-8, 2000

Tufts University 
Boston/Medford, Massachusetts, USA

The theme of this year's conference is:
"A Conversation Between Researchers and Practitioners"

Adults Learning Mathematics (ALM) is an 
international research forum which brings together 
researchers and practitioners in adult
mathematics/numeracy teaching and learning in order to
promote the learning of mathematics of adults.

The 7th annual conference will be hosted by 
the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning 
and Literacy (NCSALL) at Harvard University in 
conjunction with the Tufts University Department of
Education and the NCTM-affiliated Adult Numeracy Network. 


ALM7 Call for Papers
(Submission Deadline: March 15, 2000)

The range of perspectives: The meetings are 
expected to cover a wide range of perspectives 
around issues about adults knowing and learning 
mathematics. Some will be more practice-driven,
concentrating on instruction and curriculum, while
others will focus on theory. The conference will 
provide the opportunity for beginning and experienced 
researchers to inform each other of projects; for 
adult education mathematics teachers to share practice; 
and most importantly, for the two communities to 
benefit from new understandings. 

Participants will come from many different countries. 

Plenary speakers will include: King Beach (US), Roseanne Benn (UK),
Marilyn Frankenstein (US), Gelsa Knijnik (Brazil), and Pamela Meader
(US).
