    As mathematics educators, RIMTA’s Access and Equity Committee is excited to share that we will be hosting a series of free collaborative learning sessions this year aimed at helping Rhode Island educators support NCTM’s work to address “factors that contribute to differential outcomes among groups of students” to ensure that “students from all racial, ethnic, linguistic, gender, and socioeconomic groups (can) attain the highest levels of mathematics achievement” in our state’s schools (NCTM, Access & Equity Position Statement, 2014).

    The goals for the sessions are to:

         develop a refined understanding of what access and equity look like in PK-12 mathematics classrooms,

         promote pedagogical practices that will support access and equity for mathematics learners, and

         strengthen educators' confidence in their ability to facilitate effective and impactful mathematics teaching and learning.

    To promote equitable access to this learning opportunity:

         sessions are open to all interested educators who are open to engaging in this work and willing to set up a free, RIMTA Basic Membership (this will support our ability to communicate with you and support your ongoing professional learning);

         all sessions will be held virtually on Wednesday evenings;

         you may attend as many or as few of the sessions as you can/wish; and

         pre-readings/resources will be available to enhance your learning but they will not be required.
