Graphic highlighting the following quote from Jorge Torres' commentary for Just Equations' "Voices on Math Readiness" series: “We can no longer afford to treat college and career readiness as an ancillary function rather than a core component of a student's educational experience. When districts invest in knowledgeable leadership, coherent systems, and sustained support, they create opportunities that fundamentally change students' lives and strengthen the future of their communities."

Graphic highlighting the following quote from Federick Ngo's commentary for Just Equations' "Voices on Math Readiness" series: "Higher education policies such as those in California, Florida, and Nevada have helped to address the problem of math misalignment by allowing more students to move forward in math, and tens of thousands of students have benefited. Yet my experience as a teacher reminds me that there is more work that can be done at the classroom and local levels to reduce math misalignment."

Graphic highlighting the following quote from Akil Bello’s commentary for Just Equations' "Voices on Math Readiness" series: “There has been a recurring pattern in American education for more than 100 years: When a concern is raised about student achievement and learning, there’s typically one go-to solution—more testing. This flawed approach not only masks core problems—it keeps us from finding the true solutions to help improve outcomes for our students.”
