Session 42: Practices Showing Promise for Improving Secondary Math Teaching and Learning

Printer-friendly version

This session discusses “practices worthy of attention” (PWOA), which are current school and district practices that show promise in improving students’ secondary mathematics performance, especially for those that have had challenges in succeeding in mathematics. The first part of this project was to learn about what practices schools/districts are involved in and find the current practices that show promise and change. This session talks about the different practices found in this nationwide search and the process for analyzing each PWOA. Each practice consists of several components, and the overlap of those components across districts and practices will be summarized.
