Black, Indigenous, and Latinx Parents as Intellectual Resources: From Optional to Imperative

Casio Education U.S. is proud to sponsor and partner with TODOS in this first webinar in a series of webinars focused on "Equity in Education".

Time: 3 PM (EDT) Aug 4, 2020

Speakers: Dr. Maria del Rosario Zavala, Dr. Marta Civil

Description:
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.
