This dissertation follows the argument that one of the central tenets of deliberative democracy is that reciprocity, the exchange of moral reasons, is required for an effective deliberative process. However, reciprocity and reason exchange do not happen spontaneously. Instead, these processes, which occur largely in formal meetings, must be nurtured in settings that are designed to encourage positive communicative interactions.
Before engaging in a discussion of the charge, the board needed to determine
the goal and its own commitment to the process and then determine the
appropriate method to meet that goal and commitment. Using the IAP2 Spectrum

A clear need exists for substantial improvement in mathematics proficiency in U.S. schools. The RAND Mathematics Study Panel was convened to inform the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement on ways to improve the quality and usability of education research and development (R&D). The panel identified three areas for focused R&D: development of teachers' mathematical knowledge used in teaching; teaching and learning of skills needed for mathematical thinking and problem-solving; and teaching and learning of algebra from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
Given that the quality of instruction depends fundamentally on what teachers do
with students to develop their mathematical proficiency, and given that what
teachers can do depends fundamentally on their knowledge of mathematics, we
