Practice strategic questioning to support students in developing and using their mathematical understandings to grapple with meaningful, rigorous, rich mathematical tasks.
Create a learning community where students’ identities and cultures are sustained as they grow their identities as mathematicians.
Foster a class culture in which students take risks and make mistakes as a valued part of the learning process.
Use strategies that support students in accessing the language and cultural assumptions embedded within mathematics problems.
Skillfully facilitate discussions around mathematical tasks with contexts that illuminate complex social issues and patterns of inequity in society.

Successfully grapple with complex mathematical tasks through collaboration with peers and in independent practice.
Provide and connect verbal, written, and visual explanations for mathematical strategies and concepts.
Fully participate in linguistically diverse and language-rich classrooms.
Critically interpret real-world data and data visualizations using interdisciplinary competencies.
Articulate their mathematical strengths and areas for growth as well as the role of mathematics in their lives.
