This TODOS webinar is the first in a series of webinars focused on "Equity in Education", co-sponsored in partnership with Casio Education U.S. Speakers: Dr. Maria del Rosario Zavala, Associate Professor of Elementary Education Mathematics/Bilingual Education San Francisco State Graduate College of Education Dr. Marta Civil Professor of Mathematics Education and Roy F. Graesser Chair Associate Head for Entry-Level Instruction, Department of Mathematics The University of Arizona Webinar Description: The role of parents in supporting mathematics learning at home is often framed as supporting the development of academic skills learned at school, creating a power dynamic that positions the school as the site for superior knowledge. Further, many parents who are Black, Indigenous, and/or Latinx may experience racism or discrimination against their home cultures and languages. In our session, we will discuss how parents are intellectual resources for the teaching and learning of mathematics who can support the development of their children’s mathematical agency in and out of the mathematics classroom. We will look at how to restructure schools and parent partnerships to work together towards social justice in mathematics education and draw on examples from the MAPPS project and other research to illustrate potential considerations and pathways forward.
