	International Society For Design And Development In Education The International Society for Design and Development in Education (ISDDE) was formed in 2005 with the goal of improving educational design in mathematics and science education around the world. Educational design has been an invisible topic relative to educational research, and there has been very little direct attention focused on design principles and design processes in educational design. Society goals This international society, focused on mathematics and science education for strategic reasons, has the following main goals: * broadly improve design and development processes used in educational design * build and support a community among educational designers and create transformational training opportunities for new educational designers * increase the impact of educational designers on educational practice throughout the world Governance The society is run by an Executive of approximately 12 members.

picture info	Alumni Of University College London Alumni (: alumnus () or alumna ()) are former students or graduates of a school, college, or university. The feminine plural alumnae is sometimes used for groups of women, and alums (: alum) or alumns (: alumn) as gender-neutral alternatives. The word comes from Latin, meaning nurslings, pupils or foster children, derived from "to nourish". The term is not synonymous with "graduates": people can be alumni without graduating, e.g. Burt Reynolds was an alumnus of Florida State University but did not graduate. The term is sometimes used to refer to former employees, former members of an organization, former contributors, or former inmates. Etymology The Latin noun means "foster son" or "pupil". It is derived from the Latin verb "to nourish". Separate, but from the same root, is the adjective "nourishing", found in the phrase '' alma mater'', a title for a person's home university. Usage in Roman law In Latin, is a legal term (Roman law) to describe a child placed in fost ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon]

	National Numeracy National Numeracy is an independent charity (registered no. 1145669 in England and Wales) based in Brighton, UK, that promotes the importance of numeracy and "everyday maths". The charity was founded in 2012; its chair is Perdita Fraser and vice chair Andy Haldane. Its current chief executive is Sam Sims, who replaced Mike Ellicock in 2020. The charity aims to challenge negative attitudes towards maths and promotes effective approaches to improving functional numeracy skills. Chris Humphries, former chair of National Numeracy and a former chief executive of the UK Commission for Employment and Skills, said: "It is simply inexcusable for anyone to say: 'I can't do maths.' It is a peculiarly British disease which we aim to eradicate." The charity's Theory of Change is detailed on their website. National Numeracy has been critical of the UK mathematics curriculum, claiming that it is flawed and requires radical improvement to ensure that everyone leaves compulsory education wit ...
