The NCSM – Leadership in Mathematics Education is an organization for leaders in mathematics education, pre-K through adult, in the United States and Canada. Its purpose is to support mathematics education leadership at the school, district, college/university, state or province, and national levels through a cadre of well-trained, broadly informed, and perceptive leaders of mathematics education at all levels. NCSM believes that these leaders must be empowered and held accountable for overseeing and facilitating the implementation of substantive reform of school mathematics for all students.

The approximately 2,500 members of NCSM constitute a worldwide force of school, district, and state or province mathematics coordinators, supervisors, department chairs, and resource personnel as well as mathematics education faculty at colleges and universities, and mathematics editorial personnel from publishing companies.
