Session Details

Session 1: Enacting Anti-racist Mathematics Pedagogy

The focus of our opening session is developing as anti-racist math teacher educators so that we can identify and disrupt racism within mathematics, mathematics pedagogy, and the mathematics teachers we help prepare and support. Our intention is that this theme continues and deepens our conversations about equity that have taken place each year at this event. A special thank you to our invited speakers, Jared Webb, Brian Lawler, Eva Thanheiser, Stacy Eleczko, and Lisa Ashe. You can read about them below.
