Major Initiatives Access, Equity and Empowerment for NCTM Leadership High School Pathways Innov8 – A new conference experience Taking Action with Principles to Actions

Access, Equity and Empowerment NCTM Board and staff work: Engaged in our own professional learning on issues surrounding access, equity, and empowerment. Book study devoted to The Impact of Identity in K-8 Mathematics. Professional development with the National Alliance for Partnerships in Equity on micromessaging.

Access, Equity and Empowerment NCTM has re-framed Access and Equity to include Empowerment, to capture the critical constructs of identity, agency, and social justice. The Board modified its mission statement and strategic priorities to reflect this reframing of NCTM’s scope to include more than just access and equity.

Collaborative Work: Equity and Social Justice A Call for a Collective Action to Develop Awareness: Equity & Social Justice in Mathematics Education Final Prompt: What is one thing the organizations could do to further support your work in making mathematics education more just, humane and positive experience for children?
