Fostering Equitable, Culturally Responsive Instruction System-Wide: A Multidimensional Examination of Mathematics Education in Four Districts

Fri, April 25, 11:40am to 1:10pm MDT (11:40am to 1:10pm MDT), The Colorado Convention Center, Floor: Terrace Level, Bluebird Ballroom Room 3F

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

US school districts are increasingly focused on how to ensure students receive instruction that is both ambitious and culturally responsive (CR). In this session, a team of researchers draw on data from a two-year mixed-methods study of four large US districts focused on supporting middle school mathematics teachers to enact ambitious and CR instruction. Paper topics include whether and how districts fostered system-wide coherence around an equity-oriented instructional vision, how teachers conceptualize CR mathematics teaching, how teachers’ instructional practice influences non-academic student outcomes, and the relationship between students’ enjoyment, self-efficacy, and achievement in mathematics and school and classroom conditions. As a whole, this symposium offers a multi-dimensional and multi-perspective examination of how to foster ambitious and CR mathematics instruction system-wide.
