Choosing to See the Mathematical Brilliance of Black Students
Do you want to unearth the mathematical brilliance of your Black students? Educators are invited to join our Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity in the Math Classroom, book study facilitated by Dr. Kyndall Brown (Co-author), where you’ll deepen equity-centered practices and collaboratively disrupt systemic barriers affecting Black students. Through rigorous, research-based discussions and actionable strategies, we will transform math classrooms into inclusive spaces that affirm and elevate Black learners.
Dr. Kyndall Brown is the Executive Director of The California Mathematics Project. Dr. Brown has 35+ years in math education, including 13 years teaching in LAUSD and 25 years leading professional learning.
