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.

In this session, participants will meet in small groups based on teaching contexts (e.g., synchronous online, asynchronous online, hybrid) and content (e.g., K-12, content, methods) for fall courses.
