Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All - 3712

What will it take to turn the opportunity of the Common Core into reality in every classroom, school, and district? Continuing its tradition of mathematics education leadership, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has undertaken a major initiative to define and describe the principles and actions, including specific teaching practices, that are essential for a high-quality mathematics education for all students. Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All offers guidance to teachers, mathematics coaches, administrators, parents, and policymakers by providing a research-based description of eight essential Mathematics Teaching Practices and the conditions, structures, and policies that must support them. It builds on NCTM's principals and standards for school mathematics and supports implementation of the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics to attain much higher levels of mathematics achievement for all students. The book also identifies obstacles and key actions that must be understood and addressed by all stakeholders. Finally, the book encourages teachers of mathematics to engage students in mathematical thinking, reasoning, and sense making to significantly strengthen teaching and learning.
