Secondary Mathematics Instruction in Classes with Mostly Lower- and Mostly Higher-Achieving Students: Insights from the American Teacher Panel
Abstract
Assessments indicate that U.S. secondary school students struggle in math. Moreover, disparities between the lowest and highest performers persist and may be worsening. In this report, the authors use survey and interview data from math teachers of classes with mostly lower- and mostly higher-achieving students to understand their schools' math course placement policies, their classroom instruction, and professional learning opportunities.
