NCTM President-Elect Address: One Size Does NOT Fit All: Promoting Equitable Access for All Students

Friday, September 27, 2024
1:00 – 2:00 PM

The “one size fits all” policy doesn’t work for clothing OR for mathematics instruction. To promote equitable access to high quality mathematics for ALL students, educators must provide students with multiple options for processing information, making sense of the content presented, and for expressing their ideas about what they’ve learned. In this session, we’ll identify strategies for reframing math instruction to include the five equity-based mathematics teaching practices and learn how to use these practices to promote equitable access for ALL students.
