MTLT Article: Your Role in Students’ Stories

by Dr. Pamela Seda

 

Hello, Everyone! I'm excited to share that I've recently penned an article for one of NCTM's esteemed practitioner journals, Mathematics Teacher: Teaching and Learning PK-12. In this article, I delve into the profound influence teachers wield over their students' mathematical journeys and explore strategies to ensure that this influence is a positive one. I warmly invite you to dive into the attached article and share your valuable thoughts and feedback with me.






Fostering a Supportive Community


Because I want this space to be a community of support, I'd love for you to share your expertise with the community by responding to the following questions:

  • In what ways has finding out your students' math stories helped you better support them?

  • What personal transformative experiences have you used to encourage your students to believe in their own mathematical smartness?

  • In what ways have you leveraged the ICUCARE Equity Framework to remove obstacles and/or roadblocks that impede the learning of students from marginalized groups?

Until Next Time

I want to express my gratitude for your time and engagement. Remember, the journey to mathematical success is ongoing, and we're all in this together. Please continue to share your experiences, insights, and questions in our community. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the math stories of our students and inspire a love for mathematics that will last a lifetime.


Stay curious, stay inspired, and keep nurturing the mathematical genius within each student. Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey!

Don't forget to check out my online store for my book and educational products to support your students' learning.
