95: How Black History Leaders Can Help Our Students Feel Seen

We work tirelessly to ensure our students feel safe to take risks in our math classroom communities.

But to achieve that safety, our students need to be fully seen for who they truly are. By using the words of Black Mathematicians and other diverse math leaders we can empower and inspire our students to feel like they belong in our math classrooms.

In this episode we'll chat about:

• who we are teaching
• listening to student conversations
• doing the “get to know you” community building once a year
