Scientifically Based Research and Effective Mathematics Instruction (cont.)
In particular--
Instruction should support the development of mathematical proficiency for all
Instructional materials should incorporate the five strands
Assessments should contribute to the goal of mathematical proficiency
Teachers should have the support that will enable them to teach all students to be mathematically proficient
Efforts to achieve mathematical proficiency for all students must be coordinated, comprehensive, and informed by scientific evidence.
Proficiency cannot be achieved through piecemeal or isolated efforts. Parents, teachers, administrators and policy makers must work to together to improve school mathematics.
