[ISDDE Public Announcements]

Berkeley, California, November 10, 2017 — Unusually this year the International Society for Design and Development in Education (ISDDE) has awarded the prestigious 2017 Life Time achievement award for Excellence in Educational Design to each of Professor Emeritus Kaye Stacey of the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Professor Emeritus Zalman Usiskin of the University of Chicago, USA. Each receives $5,000. 

“This award recognizes the major contribution these two brilliant designers have made to the field of mathematics education over many years,” said Lynne McClure, Chair of ISDDE and Director of Cambridge Mathematics. 

“Each has worked over many years providing research-led products including assessment and classroom materials that have had major impact on the teaching of mathematics in their own countries and across the world,” she added.

Both Professor Stacey and Professor Usiskin will deliver keynote addresses on their work at the 2018 ISDDE Conference in Galway, Ireland in May 2018.
