Crossing “The Problem Of The Color Line”: White Mathematics Teachers And Black Students, Carla Bidwell, David W. Stinson
Crossing “The Problem Of The Color Line”: White Mathematics Teachers And Black Students, Carla Bidwell, David W. Stinson
Middle and Secondary Education Faculty Publications
In this paper, the authors explore—within an eclectic theoretical framework of critical theory, critical race theory, and Whiteness studies—the life experiences of four White high school mathematics teachers who were “successful” with Black students. The data were collected through three, semi-structured interviews, conducted over a 5-month time period. Through a cross-case analysis of the data, three commonalities among the teachers were identified as being significant contributors to their success in teaching Black students. Two commonalities the participants themselves felt strongly about, and a third became apparent during the cross-case analysis: (a) forming meaningful relationships with students, (b) engaging students in …

Dewey, Freire, And Foucault And An Ever-Evolving Philosophy Of (Mathematics) Education, David W. Stinson
Dewey, Freire, And Foucault And An Ever-Evolving Philosophy Of (Mathematics) Education, David W. Stinson
Middle and Secondary Education Faculty Publications
In this essay, the author provides a working definition of philosophy from a cultural point of view, and argues the need for mathematics educators to develop their philosophy of mathematics teaching and learning or, to speak more broadly, their philosophy of education. He then historically situates three scholars—John Dewey, Paulo Freire, and Michel Foucault—who have been instrumental in the formulation of his philosophy of education. Next, he shares how the philosophies of these three scholars provide different languages to critique three aspects of education. He concludes with brief discussions on the process of his ever-evolving philosophy of mathematics teaching and …

Disrupting Ell Teacher Candidates’ Identities: Indigenizing Teacher Education In One Study Abroad Program, G. Sue Kasun, Cinthya M. Saavedra
Middle and Secondary Education Faculty Publications
In this article, the researchers describe and theorize the challenges and promises of exposing preservice teachers' identities to indigenous, critical second language teaching experiences in one study abroad program in Mexico. The eight teacher candidates who participated in this 4-week program were predominantly white, like the majority of teachers of English language learners in the United States today. By analyzing teacher candidates' self-assessments, course work samples, class discussions, focus group sessions, and ethnographic field notes, the researchers found three main themes of identity shifts: becoming socially aware, becoming empaths, and becoming creators of loving classroom spaces. These tentative changes appear …

Questions Of Truth: Ethical And Moral Wanderings In Middle Grades Mathematics Classrooms And Research, Susan Ophelia Cannon, Stephanie Behm Cross
Questions Of Truth: Ethical And Moral Wanderings In Middle Grades Mathematics Classrooms And Research, Susan Ophelia Cannon, Stephanie Behm Cross
Middle and Secondary Education Faculty Publications
This paper describes two researchers engagement with two teachers as they taught a middle grades mathematics course, Current Events Math, in a large urban school district. The researchers share bits of data and their ethical entanglements as they entered into the site to find the truth about what works in middle grades mathematics classrooms only to realize that truth cannot be found through research. They then grappled with the question of the purpose of research and their roles as researchers in the school and the academy.
