What Educators are Saying
I envision considering how to practice culturally responsive teaching as an opportunity rather than an additional task - the course really did make entry points for this practice more accessible.
— Rita, Cohort 2
I think everything was well planned, organizing. I took away and have been telling my colleagues that all mathematics teachers should take this course.
— Suzanne, Cohort 2
I want to work on connecting math more directly to my students’ experiences and the things they care about. This feels like both a challenge and an opportunity to make learning more meaningful and relevant.
