Other fields have identified a list of Grand Challenges as a way to prioritize the most pressing problems that research should address. In a recent JRME issue, the NCTM Research Committee wrote a research commentary that argues for initiating this approach for mathematics education. If the field of mathematics education were to identify a list of Grand Challenges, what might the list include? How could we initiate a process to generate that list? What are the associated risks? We invite you to learn about this new NCTM initiative, provide ideas, and engage in a discussion about the future of this endeavor.
