Equity, Diversity, and Fairness
Accomplished mathematics teachers have high expectations for all students. They ensure equal access to the mathematics curriculum; model and promote behavior appropriate in a diverse society by showing respect and appreciation for all students; and teach students to treat one another fairly and with dignity.

Reflection on the Standard
The wellspring of the strength and vigor of our civilization, diversity must be nurtured and celebrated if we are to continue as a free, open, and democratic society. All educators, regardless of their subjects and grade levels, have the responsibility of instilling in their students both a respect for the differences that enrich us, and a love for the common ideals around which our country is built.

As a subject which humanity has sought to master since the dawn of time, mathematics transcends the superficialities of gender, creed, and color, and provides all who are willing to put forth a modest effort the opportunity to join a long line of luminaries from Euclid and Pythagoras to Newton and Euler.

Evidence, Examples, and Artifacts
Sample artifacts are being collected and will appear at a later date.
