Equity, Social Justice, and the Mission of TODOS: Connections and Motivations

Authors

  • Larry Lesser

Abstract

Equity and social justice are shown to be intertwined with each other and with the TODOS mission. Also, Shaughnessy (2007) and the author’s pilot survey of in-service secondary teachers suggest interaction (or even interference) between students’ prior concepts of fairness and certain mathematics/statistics topics. Recommendations for exploration are provided.
