Description
This grant, provided by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) through the Mathematics Education Trust and the Lee Stiff Fund, supports the creation and integration of classroom materials or lessons aimed at improving mathematics achievement among student groups with a history of underachievement. The grant encourages innovative strategies that address disparities in mathematics learning, focusing on students identified by race, gender, ethnicity, region, or culture. Projects should align with NCTM's key policy documents, promote positive mathematical identities, and address students' social-emotional needs, with a clear plan for evaluating impact on student learning and mindset.
