THE EDITORIAL PANEL OF THE MATHEMATICS TEACHER

The Mathematics Teacher's Editorial Panel is responsible for creating the overall policy regarding the reviewing of manu- scripts. It is also responsible for balancing the journal's content and for creating spe- cial sections. Their goal is to produce a journal that serves the interests of mathe- matics teachers in grades seven through fourteen.

Each manuscript, before being reviewed by the Panel, is considered by at least three referees who are selected so as to include appropriate combinations of high school teachers, teacher educators, and mathema- ticians. (Nearly five hundred referees were acknowledged in the December 1976 issue of the Mathematics Teacher, and they re- viewed over six hundred manuscripts dur- ing 1976.) The Editorial Panel evaluates each manuscript approved by the referees and makes the final decision concerning its acceptance or rejection.

Members of the Editorial Panel are ap- pointed by the Council's president for a term of three years. A member of the Board of Directors is also appointed to the Panel as a liaison member, serving for the duration of his or her term with the Board. The members of the Panel (excluding the

nonvoting managing editor) currently in- clude two classroom teachers, two super- visors, and two teacher educators, repre- senting an average of over twenty years of classroom teaching experience.

The managing editor of the Mathematics Teacher corresponds with authors, assigns manuscripts to reviewers, schedules manu- scripts for publication, and otherwise car- ries out the policies of the Panel. He is responsible for the editing of manuscripts and for overseeing the preparation of art- work for the journal.

The Editorial Panel meets twice a year to consider proposals relating to the content and policy of the journal. Changes in journal policy or procedures that involve budgeting allocations are considered by the Board of Directors. This past year, the Panel approved a series of Bicentennial articles, included a special issue on individ- ualization, and attempted to give greater vitality to the "Reader Reactions" section of the journal. It is currently working on establishing a regular section on applica- tions.

Readers' ideas for the journal are always welcome.
