Small Steps, Big Changes
Eight Essential Practices for Transforming Schools Through Mathematics
During the past two decades, Chris Confer and Marco Ramirez have worked to deepen and improve mathematics instruction at schools around the country. Wherever they go, they find the raw ingredients for success already present: "The potential for positive change lies within each school. Abundance is present in the form of capable children, teachers, coaches, and principals. Potential energy—what can be—transforms into kinetic energy—what will be—only when a force is accurately applied to move a school in the right direction."
