Equity in Mathematics Education Position Statement for Connecticut

Equity Position Statement for CT

The 2023 Equity in Mathematics Education: A Joint Position Statement for Connecticut, co-authored by the three math education professional organizations in the state (ATOMIC, CCLM, AMTEC) with support from the Connecticut State Department of Education, reflects our firm belief in equitable math outcomes for all students in Connecticut. On September 6, 2023 the Connecticut State Board of Education unanimously voted to endorse this position statement.

Our group continues to be driven by the goals of modernizing mathematics programming, which along with supporting math identities and aligning and advancing systems form the three pillars, or commitments, of the position statement. In addition to these three pillars, the essential conditions are necessary but insufficient conditions that must be in place to support the pillars and realize more equitable outcomes in mathematics for students.
