Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics

Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics: Initiating Critical Conversations addresses several challenges high school mathematics face and ways to circumvent them to provide each student the mathematical experiences necessary for success. Thes conversations center on the following challenges: how to explicitly broaden the purpose for teaching high school math beyond a focus on college and career readiness; dismantling structural obstacles that impede mathematics working for every student; how to implement equitable instructional practices to cultivate a student’s math identity; how to identify Essential Concepts that all high school students should learn and understand, and organizing curriculum around these Essential Concepts to support students’ future goals. Catalyzing Change addresses the fact that significant numbers of high school students develop unproductive mathematical identities and see little value in mathematics, while the need for mathematical skills is increasing to meet the workplace, postsecondary education requirements, and to ensure active participation in our democratic society. This book provides active ways to engage all stakeholders to nurture these necessary changes to high school mathematics.
