Another special issue! πŸ’›

You shared so many tasks and practices for building a sense of belonging in mathematics and in the math community that we couldn’t fit them all into one issue.

Happy reading: nctm.link/sVeIQ

Message from the NCTM president on adapting scripted lesson plans to better address diverse student needs in math education.

Message from the NCTM president on adapting scripted lesson plans to better address diverse student needs in math education.

"While high-quality instructional materials can provide structure, alignment, and consistency, they should not replace professional judgment. A preplanned curriculum is a toolβ€”not a script to be performed word for word."
