-          Believing in every student no matter their background, race, gender, disability, etc
-          Uniqueness with different experiences
-          Getting to know each student individually for a better learning experience for everyone
-          Once again—Connections
-          Engagement and Observation
-          “Aguirre, Mayfield-Ingram, and Martin (2013) identify five equity-based instructional practices that support this goal: (1) going deep with mathematics, (2) leveraging multiple mathematical competencies, (3) affirming mathematics learners’ identities, (4) challenging spaces of marginality, and (5) drawing on multiple resources of knowledge” (p. vi).
-          Community
-          Continue revising and reinforcing norms as a group
-          Working together to create a safe classroom where everyone can be seen or heard, and welcome
-          Being a “warm demander”—to make sure every student is “honored”, supported, and by creating a safe space for everyone
-          Learning environment for all

Just because a student might come into your classroom lacking the background knowledge that your class will build off of, doesn’t mean that they don’t want to learn or try to succeed in your class.

If they feel like they can make personal connections with the content they are introduced to, it helps them to have a better understanding of the content and it also makes them feel more comfortable learning about new challenging things. This could be implemented by incorporating different learning and teaching strategies that allow for a range of instruction like hands-on learning, presentations, individual work, partner or group work, etc.

Just because a student is introduces to a skill set, it doesn’t mean that they will know how to implement those skills on their own without explicit directions and context like we see in most math problems. Knowing how to take those skills and use them outside of the guidelines that you are comfortable in is a very important ability that teachers should strive to teach their students.

There were some important points that were mentioned in the video and I think it was quite interesting. Having the students go across the board and see math at different grade levels, for example elementary looking at middle school, middle school looking at high school math. A big part of this is also allowing teachers to see what needs to be taught more and understanding where students might struggle, it can really help the schools create a more diverse and collaborative environment for everyone. ]]> 2022-08-30 17:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276621891 RG https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276629019 We can see how these 4 points inter collide with one another, and seeing how collaboration from teacher to teacher benefits everyone. How important it might be to be able to bring some of the high school math into the middle school math, and so on the middle school math into the elementary level math. Bringing in strong stakeholders- administrators into meetings can help, so they can see what needs to be done, from the teacher's perspective. ]]> 2022-08-30 17:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276629019 RG https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276638638 When thinking of equitable mathematics instructions and who should be at the table, it shouldn't just be teachers. We need everyone who helps in the students lives, parents are just as important, so are special education, support staff, along with administrators, and bilingual teachers. All these teachers and staff members have an important part in the students lives. I love how allowing parents to come in and see the math structure is a priority because the way math was taught to them is not the same math is being taught in schools today. They will be able to get a new perspective on the math and be that extra help the student might need after school if possible. ]]> 2022-08-30 18:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276638638 RG https://padlet.com/cakaduk/l760b6tasqw6bb6y/wish/2276650081 When I think about this it reminds me of the math 106-108 class I had my first year at NCC. In order for a student to be successful they need all the support they can receive. And through this a teacher must be fully prepared, I remember attending seminars to strengthen our views and give us an open minded perspective in math. So the teachers understanding is so crucial for the students understanding as well.
