Description¶

The brief recommends concrete leader actions to help teachers form meaningful relationships with students, families, and their communities as classrooms become more diverse. Leaders can host community-based events, provide incentives for home visits, and invite family and community members to express their desires for students' learning. Where appropriate, these interactions should highlight family and community members' mathematics knowledge and experience to help teachers and students connect in-school and out-of-school learning.
