This course investigates methods for teaching mathematics to diverse elementary school children. The course is intended to contribute to your development as a critical, equity-oriented, supportive, reflective, and effective elementary teacher of mathematics. We will use readings, assignments, projects, and our classroom discussions to facilitate your understanding of important issues related to equitable mathematics teaching and learning. We will focus on topics such as cognitive demand, classroom discourse, group work (e.g., Complex Instruction), equitable pedagogical and assessment practices, culturally relevant pedagogy, social justice pedagogy, building relationships with students and their families, and developing political knowledge for teaching mathematics. You will work in small groups, partnerships, and individually in class and for your assignments and projects. Our class community will support each other's progress toward the course learning goals.
