The Equity in Mathematics Grant (PK-6) supports the incorporation of classroom materials or lessons that will improve the achievement of student groups that have previous records of underachievement, sometimes identified by race, gender, ethnicity, region, or culture. Applicants must currently be a classroom teacher in grades PK-6. Applicants can be individual classroom teachers or small groups of teachers collaborating in one grade or across grade levels. Past recipients of this grant are not eligible to reapply. The applicant must be a current Essential or Premium member of NCTM or teach at a school with a current membership. Proposals must address the following: mathematics content and teaching per NCTM's policy documents such as Principles to Actions, Catalyzing Change and Principles and Standards for School Mathematics; the plan for improving achievement of the targeted students; and the anticipated impact on their achievement. Project activities are to be completed between June 1 and May 31. Applicants must submit a letter of support from their principal. The letter must confirm the applicant's teaching status, demonstrate strong support for the proposal and the applicant's ability to accomplish it, and verify the school demographics.
