Description
This grant supports the development and implementation of classroom materials or lessons designed to improve mathematics achievement among student groups with a history of underachievement, as identified by race, gender, ethnicity, region, or culture. Projects must align with NCTM's policy documents and demonstrate a plan to enhance mathematical content knowledge, foster positive student identities, and address social-emotional needs. Proposals should clearly articulate expected impacts, evaluation methods, and how the opportunity to learn will be increased for targeted students.
