About the Presentation
High-quality instructional materials are key to ensuring that every student receives equitable instruction. During this session you will learn how the IM K–12 Math curriculum offers teachers tools to engage all students in grade-level content, affirm their identities through mathematically and culturally relevant lessons, and implement culturally responsive pedagogy. We will highlight features of the curriculum that align with UnboundEd’s GLEAM instructional framework, and offer time for participants to ask questions of members of our curriculum, product, and professional learning teams.
