Confronting the Mathematics Struggle for Girls of Color in Public Schools: Transformative Experiences

Sat, April 14, 2:15 to 3:45pm, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Third Floor, Petit Trianon

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents four perspectives of transformative teaching and learning experiences for girls of color. Each presenter uses their data and findings to confront the struggle for girls of color in secondary public school mathematics classrooms. They face this challenge by advancing new knowledge, knowledge that boldly favors race and gender consciousness, rather than colorblind approaches, as a productively disruptive way to support mathematics teaching and learning. We posit that engaging mathematics teachers in issues of race, gender, and identity are a significant way to create wholeness and more effective spaces for girls of color to learn mathematics.
