Acknowledging Our Role

Acknowledging Our Role in the Education Debt: Working to Transform School Mathematics for Learners of Color

Editors: Eden M .Badertscher and Melissa D. Boston

List price: $17.00
Member price: $12.00

This monograph by the Designing for Equity by Thinking in and about Mathematics (DEbT-M) team offers NCSM members a thorough look at the project’s journey aimed at facing, understanding, and acting on race-based inequities in order to close the opportunity gap for secondary mathematics students who have been systematically marginalized in schools. Each chapter was selected through a proposal process with an internal review before being included in this monograph. The project leaders brought this idea for publication to NCSM so that multiple voices (e.g., teachers, leaders, administrators, math educators, mathematicians) become the partners that all teachers deserve in this work. Districts are often in reaction mode instead of charting a course and supporting that course over the years, as needed to make a difference. Changes like those discussed in this monograph require significant learning, time, and commitment to produce a payoff that is valuable for each and every learner.

PRIME Leadership Framework

The PRIME Leadership Framework: Principles and Indicators for Mathematics Education Leaders
2008

List price: $24.00
Member price: $19.00

The PRIME Leadership Framework identifies the specific principles, indicators, knowledge and skills necessary to lead others beyond the current reality of student performance in mathematics into a focused, more equitable and successful future. The framework identifies the key leadership principles in four domains of mathematics education leadership: equity, teaching and learning, curriculum, and assessment. It goes on to identify three specific indicators of leadership in each domain. Each indicator is further broken down into specific actions that fall on a continuum of three stages of leadership growth: 1) knowing and modeling leadership, 2) collaborating and implementing structures for shared leadership on the local level; and 3) advocating and systematizing improvements into the wider educational community. The framework concludes with tools for reflection, self-evaluation, and discussion.

CCSS Gifted and Advanced Learners

Using the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics with Gifted and Advanced Learners
Johnsen, S. & Sheffield, L., editors
2013

List price: $19.95
Member price: $18.00
Using the Common Core Standards for Mathematics with Gifted and Advance Learners provides teachers and administrators examples and strategies to implement the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) with advanced learners at all stages of development in K-12 schools. The book describes-and demonstrates with specific examples from the CCSS-what effective differentiated activities look like for top learners. It shares how educators can provide rigor within the new standards to allow students to demonstrate higher level thinking, reasoning, problem solving, passion, and inventiveness in mathematics. By doing so, students will develop the skills, habits of mind, and attitudes toward learning needed to reach high levels of competency and creative production in mathematics fields.
