Lee Stiff
Lee Vernon Stiff (born 1949) is an American mathematics education researcher, a professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education at North Carolina State University,〔(Faculty listing ), MSTE, NCSU, retrieved 2011-03-20.〕 and the author of several mathematics textbooks.
Stiff's father was "a factory worker with only a third-grade education".〔.〕 Despite his inauspicious family background, Stiff studied mathematics at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating in 1971, and went on to earn a masters degree from Duke University in 1974 and a doctorate in mathematics education from North Carolina State University in 1978.〔〔.〕 After teaching mathematics at the middle school and high school levels, and then holding a faculty position at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte beginning in 1978, he returned to NCSU in 1983.〔
From 2000 to 2002 Stiff was president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.〔(NCTM past presidents ), retrieved 2011-03-20.〕 Under his leadership, the NCTM pushed for a greater emphasis on basic computational skills in elementary and secondary school mathematics education, and for an appropriate emphasis on conceptual understanding.〔.〕 Stiff rejected simple solutions to complex issues, saying that "Back to basics is moving backward. Number-crunching alone is no longer enough."〔. Reprinted in California Online Mathematics Education Times, (Vol. 1, No. 18, July 2000 ).〕 Instead, Stiff has recommended better training and incentives for mathematics teachers, a teaching style that incorporates a variety of ways of looking at the same material, and an attitude that all students can learn mathematics regardless of their background.〔〔.〕
In 1995 he was a Fulbright scholar in Ghana.〔(Fulbright directory ), accessed 2011-03-20.〕 In 2009 he was an NCSU College Distinguished Award recipient,〔(NCSU College Distinguished Award Recipients ), retrieved 2011-03-20.〕 and in 2010 the NCSU College of Education gave him their Distinguished Alumni Award.〔(Distinguished Alumni Award ), NCSU College of Education, retrieved 2011-03-20.〕
