Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12 Summary

Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12 by Michael D. Steele

Foster a love of mathematics by creating a more inclusive and empowering learning environment through asset-based teaching!

An asset-based perspective on math education means starting with what students already know instead of focusing on whats missing. This approach elevates student thinking and reasoning skills. In this way, educators acknowledge that all students bring prior experiences, strengths, talents, and resources to the learning process and can contribute meaningfully in an authentic learning environment.Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12provides insight into asset-based perspectives in mathematics education to create an environment where all students feel valued and capable of being doers of mathematics. In the book, Michael Steele and Joleigh Honey highlight the importance of usinglanguage,instructional routines, andsystemic structurethat positively impact student engagement, their math identity, and ultimately their outcomes.

Providing a wealth of knowledge and practical strategies that can be used to transform math classrooms into inclusive, supportive, and empowering learning environments, this book:

  • Introduces an asset-based perspective that focuses on students strengths, assets, and potential to learn mathematics
  • Includes a variety of frameworks and tools that teachers can use to build and grow their sense of asset-based perspectives
  • Offers strategies for promoting a growth mindset in mathematics, encouraging productive struggle in math, and promoting equitable math instruction
  • Supports teachers in reflecting on their decisions, self-awareness, and self-management
  • Includes a companion online study guide to support teachers individually or as part of a professional learning community

Adopting asset-based perspectives is about movement over time, not about flipping a switch. This book paves the path for an asset-based journey that ultimately helps to transform our math classrooms and advance all students learning and development.

Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12 Reviews

Our education lexicon is filled with often overused, and seriously misunderstood, terms like rigor, differentiation and sadly, asset-based. Fortunately, in this accessible, practical and powerful book, Michael and Joleigh help us convert "asset-based" into a way of thinking and acting that can truly transform our interactions with students and classes. -- Steven Leinwand * Washington, DC *
Finally, a secondary mathematics focused book about the art of asset framing classrooms and learning experiences! This book is a must read for anyone who is ready to truly transform their secondary mathematics classroom and leverage the mathematical assets of learners! -- Lindsey Henderson * Salt Lake City, UT *
Kudos to Mike Steele and Joleigh Honey for this hands-on guide for building on what students know and where they want to go! They give us concrete tools for shifting our beliefs, implementing classroom routines that operationalize what we say we believe, and collaborating to re-envision the systems we operate in. Whether you work in one classroom or support teachers in many classrooms, youll want to include this invaluable resource in your Must-Read pile. -- Cathy Seeley * McDade, TX *
Whether you are new to asset-based teaching or youve been doing your best to move in that direction for years, Transform Your Math Class Using Asset-Based Teaching for Grades 6-12 will help you sharpen your understanding and implementation. Michael Steele and Joleigh Honey carefully provide guidance on the language we use, the routines we incorporate, and how to navigate systems. Its truly an all-in-one practical toolbox to support and challenge individuals or groups of teachers. -- Ted Coe * Scottsdale, AZ *
