Rodney, Jay, Nidhi, Ben - learning today:

* Nidhi: Children do not learn unless you establish a relationship with them;
* Rodney: Pressures of the testing culture undermines teachers' willingness to go deep and build relationships - promotes covering math in a shallow way rather than digging into the roots of what students need to understand and what's getting in their way of meaning making and understanding;
* Jay: one teacher said, all of what students said stays on the board for the whole year - I want to know what that looks like and how they do that - to me it's the best possible metaphor for how seriously we want to take what students are thinking. Everything they say to not just memorialized but available.  In the Algebra Project we have tons of chart paper, pictures...years of students writing still in the room, is an incredible metaphor for doing things really thoroughly;
* importance of creating intergenerational opportunities in which young people can share with teachers, researchers, etc., what changes are needed to increase effective learning environments in math classes in and out of school

- The actual techniques of teaching for social justice are really basic and have to do with learning about students as people. Knowing who your students are creates a place where they are comfortable with themselves
- Co-teaching can be a way where students feel like the classroom is comfortable to be in.

The importance of students at the center as real, and genuinely different from what we are doing now.
It may be easier for some teachers to think of "social justice" as "student voice" instead of as larger topics that may be thought of as "controversial".
Including all the people in a school including custodians, cafeteria workers and others is a way to make a difference for justice and for learning.

* richness of the experience today, hearing from Anna and Jamarria, and the importance of centering student voices and experiences, to focus on what really matters in terms of positive outcomes in the classroom and beyond, and, getting paid - valuing students' talents for what they love doing;
* need to bring things out of students' heads instead of pushing into them - valuing where students are coming from...in the classroom, enabling every child to bring their own voice and building on that;
* importance of allowing students to have choices and use those choices in whatever they are doing in how they learn
* Let students give more presentations to Boards of Education...instead of having meetings about students without students present.

One resource would be the teacher- teachers need to reflect and do the hard work on their beliefs and which of those they bring into the classroom. They need to build rapport and trust with the students, help the students believe they can do the work, and the math.

Student agency
Identity matters
Teachers are responsible for every aspect of student learning, so create moments where they are empowered. As Bill said, if they feel that they don’t matter and they don’t have a voice, then their will be little opportunity for teaching mathematics is going to happen
