4- Overcoming Barriers: Making Mathematics Work for All

Thursday, November 20, 2014: 8:00 AM-9:00 AM
Grand Ballroom C (George R. Brown Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Matthew R. Larson


Despite recent reform efforts, unacceptable learning differentials persist. These differentials are in part a result of powerful barriers and unproductive beliefs that keep us from making mathematics work for all. This session will examine barriers in teaching, curriculum, assessment, and professionalism, and it will provide strategies to overcome them.
