Foregrounding Cultural Ways of Being in Mathematics Teacher Education: Cases From Latinx and Pāsifika Communities

Sun, April 15, 8:15 to 9:45am, New York Hilton Midtown, Floor: Concourse Level, Concourse E Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium presents four studies on mathematics teacher education approaches that emphasize learning about and building on the lived experiences and cultural ways of being of the local communities. Drawing on the concept of funds of knowledge and on fostering the participation of minoritized students in mathematical discourse, the different frameworks capitalize on the importance of dialogue between parents, community members, teachers, preservice teachers, and teacher educators. The symposium centers on teacher education efforts that foreground equitable and culturally responsive practices in mathematics education. In bringing up issues in common from two geographic contexts ((US, with Latinx communities and New Zealand, with Pāsifika communities), we add to the call for research on teacher education and diversity from a global perspective.
