This book summarizes and synthesizes the research behind each of the guiding principles and essential elements of Principles to Actions : Ensuring Mathematical Success for All, and offers examples of what the principles and elements might look like in classroom practice. It is intended to be used by preservice teachers, in-service teachers, instructional coaches, administrators, professional developers, and math teacher educators.
