Executive Order 13398: National Mathematics Advisory Panel was a presidential executive order issued by President George W. Bush (R) in April 2006 that established the National Mathematics Advisory Panel within the Department of Education. The order broadly aimed to "help keep America competitive, support American talent and creativity, encourage innovation throughout the American economy, and help State, local, territorial, and tribal governments give the Nation's children and youth the education they need to succeed," according to the text.[1]

The National Mathematics Advisory Panel was terminated after submitting its final report to President George W. Bush and the secretary of education on March 13, 2008.[2]

Background

See also: No Child Left Behind Act

President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act (NCBLA) into law in 2001. At the time, public concern about the efficacy of public education in America had increased due in part to reports indicating a decline in the global academic performance of American students, according to the Education Commission for the States. The NCLBA, in response, aimed to support standards-based education reform drawn from the philosophy that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals for schools would improve individual outcomes for public school students. The legislation mandated that states develop standardized tests and administer assessments to all students at certain grade levels in order to receive federal funding. Each state was responsible for establishing its own standards.[3]

The Bush administration later issued E.O. 13398 on April 18, 2006, which aimed to improve student performance in mathematics. The order established the National Mathematics Advisory Panel within the Department of Education. The panel was tasked with advising the president and the secretary of education to "foster greater knowledge of and improved performance in mathematics among American students", according to the text.[1]

Policy

E.O. 13398 emphasized that it is the policy of the United States to promote greater knowledge and performance in the field of mathematics among American students:[1]

“ To help keep America competitive, support American talent and creativity, encourage innovation throughout the American economy, and help State, local, territorial, and tribal governments give the Nation's children and youth the education they need to succeed, it shall be the policy of the United States to foster greater knowledge of and improved performance in mathematics among American students.[4] ”

Creation and mission of the advisory panel

E.O. 13398 established the National Mathematics Advisory Panel within the Department of Education. The panel's duty was to advise the president and the secretary of education on how to implement the policy outlined above using the research of evidence-based mathematics instruction.[1]

E.O. 13398 mandated that the panel consist of no more than 30 members; 20 of them were not to be employed by the federal government and 10 of them were officers or employees of federal agencies. The secretary of education assigned a chair of the panel, whose duty was to convene and preside at meetings, determine its agenda, direct its work, and establish and direct the work of subgroups of the panel.[1]

Final report requirements

E.O. 13398 required that the panel submit to the president a preliminary report not later than January 31, 2007, and a final report not later than February 28, 2008. Both of the reports were required to include certain recommendations based on the best available scientific evidence. The secretary of education could request a report of findings at any time during the duration of the panel’s term. The order required the following recommendations in the report:[1]

“ (a) the critical skills and skill progressions for students to acquire competence in algebra and readiness for higher levels of mathematics;


(b) the role and appropriate design of standards and assessment in promoting mathematical competence;

(c) the processes by which students of various abilities and backgrounds learn mathematics;

(d) instructional practices, programs, and materials that are effective for improving mathematics learning;

(e) the training, selection, placement, and professional development of teachers of mathematics in order to enhance students' learning of mathematics;

(f) the role and appropriate design of systems for delivering instruction in mathematics that combine the different elements of learning processes, curricula, instruction, teacher training and support, and standards, assessments, and accountability;

(g) needs for research in support of mathematics education;

(h) ideas for strengthening capabilities to teach children and youth basic mathematics, geometry, algebra, and calculus and other mathematical disciplines;

(i) such other matters relating to mathematics education as the Panel deems appropriate; and

(j) such other matters relating to mathematics education as the Secretary may require.[4]

”

Miscellaneous provisions

E.O. 13398 mandated that the Department of Education provided administrative support and funding for the panel as deemed appropriate by the secretary of education.[1]

E.O. 13398 directed that the panel obtain information and advice throughout the duration of its term from the following individuals:[1]

“ (i) officers or employees of Federal agencies, unless otherwise directed by the head of the agency concerned;

(ii) State, local, territorial, and tribal officials;

(iii) experts on matters relating to the policy set forth in section 1;

(iv) parents and teachers; and

(v) such other individuals as the Panel deems appropriate or as the Secretary may direct.[4]

”

E.O. 13398 stated that members of the panel who are not officers or employees of the United States shall serve without compensation; however, they may receive compensation for travel expenses.[1]
