These experts say memorizing your times tables is important (Matthew Burns, federal Institute of Education Studies, National Mathematics Advisory Panel). But the 2023 California Math Curriculum Framework (CMF) says never mind!. The CMF - how to make poor math proficiency even.

Dr. Boaler’s ‘Railside’ study is not evidence for detracking or for a reform oriented teaching approach. See:
In 2018, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, which Pantozzi lists in his bio and has chaired a committee for, released a report titled "Catalyzing Change in High School Mathematics" in which it argued, among other things, that all students should receive the same

47/n ‘Railside’ remains in the Oct. ‘23 CMF though, even though it was debunked years ago. And while the CMF is intended to be guidance, it may still influence millions of CA school children through pushing its reform-oriented math education approach — and it serves as the.

46/n Yet much of Dr. Boaler’s work that was included and referenced in prior versions of the Oct. ‘23 CMF (“Limitless Mind,” ‘How one city got math right,’ ‘Everyone Can Learn Mathematics to High Levels,’ ‘Solving the Math Problem,’ ‘The Transformative Impact. ,’ ‘Research.

43/n Yet now Dr. Boaler has helped confirm the accuracy of at least a part of the critique of her ‘Railside’ study, which concluded her ‘Railside’ claims of math achievement for ‘Railside’ HS students were unsupported. Meanwhile the CMF claims that it, which references the.

42/n The ‘Railside’ study is also one of the very few remaining papers cited in the Oct. ‘23 CMF that claims math achievement gains from the preferred math education methods (reform-oriented teaching approach) proposed in the Oct. ‘23 CMF, which include moving away from teaching.

41/n and one additional time when a chapter in “Mathematics for Equity” written by Boaler and Staples is cited in the Oct. ‘23 CMF (Ch. 12 Line 272), which essentially just restates ‘Railside’ claims (.

40/n It matters because Dr. Boaler continues to cite her ‘Railside’ paper’s claims as though true, even though the ‘Railside’ critique debunked those claims years ago. For example, Dr. Boaler’s ‘Railside’ study is cited three times in the Oct. ‘23 California Math Framework (Ch.

38/n All four teachers worked at San Lorenzo HS (San Lorenzo, CA) during some portion of the ‘Railside’ study’s time period (2000-2004), which matches and confirms the identification made by critique authors’ that ‘Railside’ HS is indeed San Lorenzo HS (San Lorenzo, CA).

36/n Cabana, Shreve, and Woodbury co-authored the book “Mathematics for Equity,” edited by Na’ilah Suad Nasir, in which they self-identified as ‘Railside’ HS teachers, though without naming the school. From the “Mathematics for Equity” back cover:.
