From the publisher

In this book, nationally renowned scholars join classroom teachers to share equity-oriented approaches that have been successful with urban high school mathematics students. Compiling for the first time major research findings and practitioner experiences from Railside High School, this volume describes the evolution of a fundamentally different conception of learners and teaching. The chapters bring together research and reflection on teacher collaboration and professional community, student outcomes and mathematics classroom culture, reform curricula and pedagogy, and ongoing teacher development.

Mathematics for Equity will be invaluable reading for teachers, schools, and districts interested in maintaining a focus on equity and improving student learning while making sense of the new demands of the Common Core State Standards.

Book Features:

  • Core principles of an equity-centered mathematics program.
  • Examples of how to focus and organize the collaborative work of a math department to develop a shared pedagogy.
  • Student experiences with an equity pedagogy that focuses on building perseverance, flexibility in thinking, and deep conceptual understanding.
  • Connections between reconceptualizing learners and teaching, and achieving deep mathematics learning and equitable outcomes.
