Synopsis
Germain-McCarthy (mathematics education, U. of New Orleans) and Owens (curricular and institutional studies, U. of Akron) examine ways in which the reform movement in mathematics, as advocated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), is being effectively implemented with students of different ethnicities. Coverage includes overviews of NCTM's reform recommendations, definitions of and research on multicultural education, seven case studies profiling teachers who are successfully implementing standards-based practices with ethnically diverse students, and what the NCTM's vision means for students and the mathematics community now and in the future. For preservice and inservice teachers, and teacher educators. The book is not indexed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
