A website that makes an IMPACT
The website was created by the American Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC) whose mission is to provide high quality professional development, to advocate and collaborate at all levels, and to build communities of learners for all involved in mathematics education in the first two years of college.
In 2018 a new Standards Document (IMPACT) was released. A Standards document had been released in 1997, 2007, and now 2018. Because of the opportunities that technology now provides, the intent is to keep this new release a 'living document' by using a website instead of just having the hardcopy document (that is only updated every 10 years). The website not only contains the document itself, but several other pages that are intended to keep current and relevant information available to the mathematics community (especially in two-year colleges, aka community colleges). We want to encourage people to keep checking the site daily/weekly/monthly etc. instead of just reading the document and then forgetting about it.
