Matt Larson, NCTM President-Elect, Lincoln Public Schools, Nebraska Taking Action to That Ensure Mathematics Works for All!
New content standards may improve overall student achievement but are unlikely to reduce existing learning differentials. To ensure that mathematics works for all students, program improvement efforts must address the six principles outlined in NCTM's Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. This presentation will discuss the six principles and outline the actions needed to overcome the obstacles that have traditionally stood in the way of making mathematics work for all students. |
