It outlines key elements such as alignment with state standards, support for diverse learners, clear implementation guidance, culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy, and robust assessments. This resource guide is essential for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers committed to creating inclusive and effective mathematics education environments.
