This book puts a spotlight on the practices of teachers across the nation who have implemented effective mathematics instruction for students of different ethnicities. Among the ethnic groups represented are African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Haitians, Arab Americans, and Euro-Americans.
The teacher profiles in this book show how the reform movement in mathematics, as advocated by NCTM, is being effectively implemented with students of different ethnicities. These profiles depict teachers’ and students’ actions that unite the goals of multicultural education with the mathematics curriculum. The profiles have been constructed from classroom visits, written statements, interviews, and videotapes of how teachers implement standards-based lessons in their classrooms.
