Create a pathway to equity by detracking mathematics The
tracked mathematics system has been operating in US schools for
decades. However, research demonstrates negative effects on
subgroups of students by keeping them in a single math track,
thereby denying them access to rigorous coursework needed for
college and career readiness. The journey to change this involves
confronting some long-standing beliefs and structures in education.
When supported with the right structures, instructional shifts,
coalition building, and educator training and support, the
detracking of mathematics courses can be a primary pathway to
equity. The ultimate goal is to increase more students’ access to
and achievement in higher levels of mathematics
learning–especially for students who are historically
marginalized. Based on the stories and lessons learned from the San
Francisco Unified School District educators who have talked the
talk and walked the walk, this book provides a model for all those
involved in taking on detracking efforts from policymakers and
school administrators, to math coaches and teachers. By sharing
stories of real-world examples, lessons learned, and prompts to
provoke discussion about your own context, the book walks you
through:Â Designing and gaining support for a policy of
detracked math courses Implementing the policy through practical
shifts in scheduling, curriculum, professional development, and
coaching Supporting and improving the policy through continuous
research, monitoring, and maintenance. This book offers the
big ideas that help you in your own unique journey to advance
equity in your school or district’s mathematics education and
also provides practical information to help students in a detracked
system thrive.
