Create Positive Change for High School Mathematics
Catalyzing Change for Elementary and Middle Grades – Requesting Your Input
NCTM is developing Catalyzing Change publications for elementary school and early childhood mathematics, and for middle school mathematics. If you are a teacher in these grades or work at these levels, we would like your input in identifying key issues and priorities.
Share your thinking through a short
elementary and early childhood survey or,
middle school survey. The surveys will be active until May 13, 2019. We understand that the turnaround time is short but would greatly appreciate your input.
To frame your thinking as you respond to the survey questions, it may be helpful to read either:
Thank you for your help with this important process.
Today's students face a future where there is an increasing need for mathematical skills in the workplace. As a high school teacher, leader, administrator, or counselor, part of your profession involves helping ensure that students are prepared for both personal and professional success.
NCTM's new publication, Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations, is a must-read for anyone who's involved in high school mathematics education.
Themes include:
- Broadening the purposes for teaching high school mathematics beyond a focus on college and career readiness
- Dismantling structural obstacles that stand in the way of mathematics working for each and every student
- Implementing equitable instructional practices
- Identifying essential concepts that all high school students should learn and understand at a deep level
- Organizing the high school curriculum around these essential concepts to support students’ future personal and professional goals
