AV巴士

New Book from Susan Jo Russell

Interweaving Equitable Participation and Deep Mathematics: Building Community in the Elementary Classroom focuses on a dual commitment: to teaching deep and challenging mathematics and to equitable participation for all students in the classroom community. With practical strategies and real-life examples, Susan Jo Russell and Deborah Schifter offer a design for building community organized around four key aspects: every voice matters; collaboration supports student agency; student-created representations offer anchors, openings, and depth; and students become initiators and advocates for their own learning. Each chapter examines how teachers implement these ideas through video examples from six public elementary-school classrooms.

We are deeply saddened to share the news that Dr. Janice Ellen Jackson, trustee of AV巴士, passed away on March 3, 2025. Janice was one of our longest-serving and most dedicated advocates, and her contributions to AV巴士 and the broader educational community have been invaluable.
