Teaching Preservice Teachers In The Time Of Covid: What’S Worth Keeping?, Kathy Liu Sun, Jennifer L. Ruef, Kathleen Jablon Stoehr, Madeline Ahearn
Teaching Preservice Teachers In The Time Of Covid: What’S Worth Keeping?, Kathy Liu Sun, Jennifer L. Ruef, Kathleen Jablon Stoehr, Madeline Ahearn
Journal of Humanistic Mathematics
As we begin to transition from online instruction to in-person, we (four mathematics teacher educators) reflect on how COVID-19 impacted our instruction and address the question: what will we take back to in-person instruction? This article includes our individual reflections and an analytical synthesis of them. Findings reveal that there were unanticipated ways that human connection and consideration arose from teaching online, much of which we want to maintain in some form when returning to brick and mortar classrooms. We conclude by highlighting the value and importance of reflection for our own well-being.

Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)
Inequities in opportunities to learn and become in engineering, especially for minoritized youth, are enduring and systemic. How students experience engineering education, through curriculum, pedagogy, and teacher/student interactions, all shape opportunities for identity development. In this paper we draw upon cultural studies and critical ethnography to explore how and why students engage in engineering for sustainable communities and its relationship to their identity work. We ground our work in a justice-centered asset-based stance that centers how people’s lived lives and community wisdom yield powerful forms of cultural knowledge/practice relevant to learning and engaging in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. We …
Committing To Equity: Going Beyond Teaching Mathematics, Nora Ramirez
Committing To Equity: Going Beyond Teaching Mathematics, Nora Ramirez
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
There are many actions that can impact the goal of achieving equity in—and access to—school mathematics. A few actions are presented, some not often addressed, because one might not think them directly related to the teaching and learning of mathematics.
Book Review Of The Impact Of Identity In K-8 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices, Catherine Martin
Book Review Of The Impact Of Identity In K-8 Mathematics: Rethinking Equity-Based Practices, Catherine Martin
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
Aguirre, Mayfield-Ingram, and Martin have written this book to engage teachers in conversations about and reflection on their own and their students' mathematical identities. While classroom examples focus on grades K-8, the book discusses teacher reflection and practice around issues of equity for grades K-12.
A Framework For Problem-Based Learning: Teaching Mathematics With A Relational Problem-Based Pedagogy, Carmel Schettino
A Framework For Problem-Based Learning: Teaching Mathematics With A Relational Problem-Based Pedagogy, Carmel Schettino
Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-Based Learning
One recommendation for encouraging young women and other underrepresented students in their mathematical studies is to find instructional methods, such as problem-based learning (PBL), that allow them to feel included in the learning process. Using a more relationally centered pedagogy along with more inclusive instructional methods may be a way to foster an interest in studying mathematics in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. However, many mathematics teachers are at a loss in not only how to instruct with PBL methods but also how to create the environment that encourages optimal learning.
