The system won¿t do it for us. But we have each other.

Second, that the last 40 years of top-down PD efforts in mathematics have rarely supplied teachers with what they need to equitably grow their practice and foster classrooms that are likewise empowered, inclusive, and cohesive. With gentle humanity, this book inspires teachers to break down silos, observe each others¿ classrooms, interrogate their own biases, and put students at the center of everything they do in the math classroom.
