Amidon Planet E128: Building Community to Center Equity and Justice in Mathematics Teacher Education (Part 1) with Jen Wolfe
Learning to teach better with Dr. Jen Wolfe, Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of Arizona and co‑host of the Teaching Math Teaching podcast. In this episode — part one of a two‑part series — we talk about two chapters we co‑authored for the newest Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) Professional Book Series, Building Community to Center Equity and Justice in Mathematics Teacher Education, edited by Dr. Eva Thanheiser and Dr. Courtney Koestler.
We dig into our chapters:
Centering Community Care & Love in the Preparation of Prospective Secondary Teachers: A Collective Responsibility Approach to Mathematics Teaching and Learning, and
Establishing the “We” with Prospective Elementary Teachers: Conversation Grids as Teaching Mathematics Methods as Agape
We also reflect on how our professional journey shows up in this work.
Enjoy!
