Access and Equity: Promoting High-Quality Mathematics in Grades 9-12

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.
