“...American literature has been clearly the preserve of white male views, genius, and power, those views, genius, and power are without relationship to and removed from the overwhelming presence of Black people in the United States.”

How does this quote connect to the work of teaching mathematics?

How can you take the work germinating in this work into the garden of your classroom to develop a pluralistic/prismatic mathematical teaching gaze?

What work must you do within the garden of self to develop the the pluralistic/prismatic/intersectional identities within you that inevitably show up when you teach?

I teach mostly white women, and so I am constantly aware of my difference in color and background and that while students may smile in my face, I have no idea how they speak about me behind my back -- especially on course evaluations.

My building is a mix of white, black, hispanic, and pacific islander. I feel privileged to get to work with such a diverse group of students, although the teacher group lacks diversity.

I think giving an opportunity for students who are not 'getting it' to hear from students who are 'getting it'. Instead of only offering access to notes.

Realizing that so many are affected by the America of today, but there are good educators out there still wanting to make a difference for all groups including minorities. Taking what we come with and bring to the classroom and thinking about what biases we may have and how we can use them as strengths in teaching instead of bringing harm or misunderstanding to our students.

I think the work begins with owning our responsibility as teachers to assist in the education of every student we encounter. These are "our" kids.

So much to think about. What can I do on a daily basis to make micro level changes? So refreshing and hopeful to know that there are other educators out there that share viewpoints/concerns/passions as myself.

Guided reflections via the tools provided in the texts helped me think deeper about the stories in the book, as well as reflect on my own experiences. I want to share this with more people

As a former teacher who now works in curriculum, I'm just really reflecting on how hard and important it is to write a curriculum that allows all students to really feel a part of the math. Or provide teachers with the tools they need to adapt what we have to their students and community.

This gave me hope each time we met. Thank you to those who shared their chapters in the book and in our sessions. Your voices are powerful, and really helped me reflect.

Many techniques and skills from all of you. Leaving with a positive outlook that there are so many of us out there that want the best for our students no matter how scary the world may look.

Giving me a framework to be able to reflect on my critical moments in a way that is productive.

I'm comforted in the fact so many others are showing up to address injustice in their environments. I'm also thankful for a space to acknowledge some of the issues I've encountered as a teacher, a teacher of color, and a female teacher of color.
