Families and Communities
Accomplished mathematics teachers support and promote the involvement of families in their children’s education. They help varied communities understand the role of mathematics and mathematics instruction in today’s world, and—to the extent possible—they involve these communities in the support of instruction.

Reflection on the Standard
Before first setting foot in a classroom, children have already learned and absorbed much from their families that will determine the courses of their lives. As these same children grow to adolescence and young adulthood, the influence of their families, though sometimes less apparent, remains strong. The interest and involvement of the parent of a twelfth grader is no less important than that of the parent of a first grader, though their roles may be quite different.

Education is a community enterprise, and the effective teacher will do all that he or she can to articulate with families and enlist the support of the wider community.

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