Overcoming the Tracking Hurdle in High School Mathematics with Steve Leinwand

Steve Leinwand is a principal researcher at the American Institute for Research and a renowned math education change agent with a contagious enthusiasm for what IS possible in mathematics.

He joins Tim and Karen for an informative and powerful discussion around rethinking the traditional math trajectory in high school mathematics. Steve discusses the focus of his and Eric Milou’s new book, Invigorating High School Math: Practical Guidance for Long Overdue Transformation, which provides a guide for ‘detracking’ math education in order to provide more opportunities and relevant course pathways for all students.

When you finish this episode you will have new insights into why sorting students in mathematics is NOT a good thing and a passion to help change it!
