Warm demanders for math

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Warm demanders know students’ cultures, have strong relationships with students, and demand that they maximize their efforts, show respect, and follow classroom norms.  Warm demanders communicate their expectations of success by using personal warmth, while using instructional practices that insist on students meeting their high expectations.  From this perspective, caring in more than an affective connection between students and teachers.  It is actually a means for shaping students’ disposition towards mathematics, molding their mathematical identity, and developing students’ sense of agency by helping them believe that they can do mathematics.
