CESE congratulates TODOS on its 20th anniversary!
TODOS: Mathematics for ALL is an international professional organization that advocates for equity and excellence in mathematics education for ALL students with special attention to Latina/o students. As articulated in its mission and goals, TODOS advances educators' knowledge, develops and supports education leaders, generates and disseminates knowledge, informs the public, influences educational policies, and informs families about education policies and learning strategies. All of these goals ultimately result in providing access to high quality and rigorous mathematics for ALL students. TODOS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and an affiliate organization of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
TODOS will be celebrating its anniversary during its biennial national conference this summer here in Albuquerque, June 21-23. The Conference will focus on Critical Actions in Mathematics Education. Come, share, and learn with others about the actions that TODOS and its members have taken on Critical Transformations in Mathematics Education. The conference will be held at the historic Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town, 800 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, in the heart of Old Town.

Important note about Annual Meeting:
The times they are a changing, and so is CESE. Instead of an annual meeting in June with a speaker, we are planning a ‘meet and greet’ at an Albuquerque restaurant that will be partially subsidized by CESE in July or August. An on-line poll will be sent out sometime soon. The presentation will be held later, possibly in the fall after people return from summer vacation. We hope to see you at both!
