Episode91-Dr. Paul Gray and Dr. Cory Bennett, "Supporting All Students Through Flexible Grouping Practices‪"‬ NCSM Leadership in Mathematics Education Learning with Leaders

In this episode, hosts Dr. Katey Arrington and Dr. Brian Buckhalter welcome Dr. Paul Gray, Past-President of NCSM and Chief Curriculum Officer for Cosenza & Associates, LLC, and Dr. Cory Bennett, Position Paper Editor for NCSM and Professor of Mathematics Education and Chair of the Department of Teaching and Educational Studies at Idaho State University. Dr. Gray and Dr. Bennett share about the recently released NCSM position paper, Supporting All Students Through Flexible Grouping Practices. NCSM released position papers to provide leaders with direction, guidance, and support as they consider the practices they encourage and advocate for meaningful change in their systems. This paper, released as a companion paper to the previously published paper, Closing the Opportunity Gap: A Call for Detracking Mathematics, provides guidance on how to utilize flexible groupings rather than fixed groupings to increase student learning and engagement in the math classroom. Read the new position paper, Supporting All Students Through Flexible Grouping Practices, on the NCSM website under Leadership Resources.
