Ensuring Success in Math and Science: Curriculum and Teaching Strategies for At-Risk Learners

Ensuring Success in Math and Science addresses the systemic and instructional problems behind failure in math and science, defines long-range goals, and describes the research and philosophy that support those goals. This resource also discusses how to redevelop math and science curricula to ensure success for all children, especially those at risk, and the importance of collaboration in implementing a curriculum that addresses each student s needs. Also included are examples of teacher-tested math and science lessons plus lessons that families and caregivers can use to reinforce math and science achievement at home. Ensuring Success in Math and Science further develops the ideas presented in the author s earlier work, Nurturing At-Risk Youth in Math & Science.
