Out-of-date and stale curricula are not only dull, but perpetuate inequity by limiting opportunities and failing to prepare a majority of students for life in the 21st century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven traditionalists recognize that the status quo is no longer acceptable. Major shifts in course organization, mathematical content, pedagogy, and assessment are long overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePractical Guidance for Meaningful Transformation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInvigorating High School Math is a clarion call for meaningful transformation. Throughout the book, Steven Leinwand and Eric Milou address the most critical challenges facing high school mathematics and provide practical guidance for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e * addressing challenges and excuses that often short-circuit new approaches\u003cbr\u003e * making the case for theimportance of and rationale for changing high school math\u003cbr\u003e * creating core integrated math courses for grades 9 and 10 and coherent pathways for grades 11 and 12\u003cbr\u003e * making critical shifts in pedagogy and classroom practice\u003cbr\u003e * designing high-quality assessments and using them effectively\u003cbr\u003e * developing and executing a rational implementation plan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Stimulus for Discussion and a Road Map for Change\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany of these ideas will not be broadly popular. It’s likely that none of them will be easy to implement. That’s no surprise: For nearly a century, the basic structure of high school mathematics has barely changed―not because of its effectiveness, but because the status quo is a powerful force requiring purposeful action to break.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written for every high school math educator and leader―as both a stimulus for discussion and a road map for change. “Our hope,” say the authors, “is that this book stimulates change, empowers teachers, and guides the profession on this critical journey to invigorate high school mathematics.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48921982566637,"sku":"Hein4161","price":33.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/0797\/6685\/files\/9780325134161.webp?v=1761426724","url":"https:\/\/qepbooks.com\/products\/invigorating-high-school-math-practical-guidance-for-long-overdue-transformation","provider":"QEP Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
