Count Me In: An HBCU P-20 Research-Practice Partnership to Build Math Teacher Pathways

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session focuses on research practice partnerships at Jackson State University. Leveraging relationships with Jackson Public Schools, the Mississippi Department of Education, non-profit organizations such as the Southern Initiative Algebra Project, the Mississippi Urban Research Center, and other institutions of higher education, JSU has become a hub for strategic “grow-your-own” initiatives designed to research and directly address shortages among licensed mathematics educators. This session features presentations from key stakeholders who have helped develop a robust ecosystem of mathematics education and training that is rooted in a long history of community-based mathematics education connected to trailblazing organizations like The Algebra Project while also tapping into new mechanisms for analyzing what works in teaching and learning mathematics.
