A schoolwide solution for mathematics success! When "rules" seem to change from year to year, mathematics can seem like a disconnected mystery for students. Clear up the confusion with a Mathematics Whole-School Agreement! Expanded from the highly popular "Rules that Expire" series of NCTM articles, this essential guide leads educators through the collaborative step-by-step process of establishing a coherent and consistent learner-centered and equitable approach to mathematics instruction. You’ll learn to avoid "rules that expire"―tricks that may seem to help students in one grade but hurt in the long run. Features include ·         Abundant grade-specific examples ·         Effective working plans for sustainability ·         Barrier-busting tips, to-dos, and try-it-outs ·         PLC prompts and discussion points

Create meaningful and transformative K-5 STEAM learning experiences for each and every studentMake the most of your limited instructional time and become part of the Step into STEAM movement! Seamlessly design and implement K-5 STEAM inquiries that align carefully to key mathematics and science content and practices and prepare elementary students for their bright futures. Taking an opposite approach to existing resources that provide collections of disjointed STEAM activities, this book empowers teachers and schools to build cohesive and sustainable STEAM infrastructures―grounded in grade-level standards and purposeful assessment―to deepen the mathematics and science learning of each and every student.  

The book explores the dynamics of democracy assistance programs and how organizational politics have shaped their approach, often leading them to avoid direct confrontation with dictators. It delves into the complexities of international aid, revealing the underlying motivations and constraints that influence the effectiveness of these initiatives in promoting democratic values abroad.
