Access, Equity and
Empowerment
NCTM Board and staff work:
• Engaged in our own professional
learning on issues surrounding
access, equity, and empowerment.
• Book study devoted to The Impact
of Identity in K-8 Mathematics.
• Professional development with the
National Alliance for Partnerships
in Equity on micromessaging.
Access, Equity and
Empowerment
• NCTM has re-framed Access and Equity to
include Empowerment, to capture the
critical constructs of identity, agency, and
social justice.
• The Board modified its mission statement
and strategic priorities to reflect this
reframing of NCTM’s scope to include
more than just access and equity.
