Promoting empowerment,
meaningful participation, and success for each and every student
Access and Equity:
Promoting High-Quality Mathematics in Grades 9–12 examines issues related
to access, equity, and empowerment faced by students as they prepare for
college, technical schools, or joining the workforce. Its chapters are
organized across three main themes:
• Engaging
students in equity-based classroom projects
• Developing students’
positive mathematical identities
• Encouraging
teachers to reflect on their own equitable beliefs and practices
Encouraging teachers to reflect on their own equitable
beliefs and practices. Each chapter is designed to show the power of building on
students’ interests, communities, and strengths to engage them with rigorous
mathematics content. This book will help teachers provide each and every
student with the challenging mathematics education they need for future
success, thereby fully implementing the Access and Equity Principle in NCTM’s Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical
Success for All.
