Emerging Practices in Urban Mathematics Education: Nurturing High Achievement in Minority Students

Printer-friendly version

Data from the National Center for Education Statistics show that there are vast differences in how effective various urban districts are in teaching mathematics to low income and ethnic minority students. We will explore explanations for these differences as well as some new practices worthy of attention in some high-performing districts. We will pay special attention to new strategies for addressing the mathematics learning needs of English language learners, students with special needs, and students who are disengaged from school.
