On Ya’ Own Now: Exploring the Impact of a Teacher Residency on One Mathematics Resident

• In Event: AERA Roundtable Session Friday 1:30 pm Four Seasons Ballroom 2-3
  In Roundtable Session: STEM in Black Education to Challenge Inequity (Table 8)

Abstract

I present on work that I have done with Riley, a Black male mathematics teacher who, in the previous year, was also a participant in a teacher residency program within a large urban school district centered on anti-racist and justice-oriented pedagogy. I arrange findings according to that which occurred in the residency and was observed during his first year of teaching, followed by that which I had not observed yet was a focus of the teacher residency. I interrogate how this residency informs teacher education and accomplishes the goal of educating youth in the current political climate, even within mathematics classrooms; I also offer insight into what supports from the residency are demonstrating some impact on his teaching.
