O knihe

A volume in The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) Professional Book Series

The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) in its 2015 position paper on Equity in Mathematics

Teacher Education provides a list of actions for mathematics teacher educators (MTE's) to help them develop and implement equitable practices.

The position paper states it is critical that mathematics teacher educators: "Model equity-based pedagogy that emphasizes rich and rigorous

mathematics; elicit and build on children's and young adults' mathematical thinking; connect to P-12 students' cultural/linguistic knowledge and

backgrounds as well as individual interests; facilitate mathematical discourse; minimize status issues by expanding broader participation and

engagement where varied mathematical strengths are valued; and promote positive mathematical identity and agency (p. 2)".

Cases for Mathematics Teacher Educators: Facilitating Conversations about Inequities in Mathematics Classrooms provides an excellent resource to

start conversations describing the enactment of these actions. The book is organized into three main sections: (1) Conversations About Inequities in

Mathematics Methods Courses, (2) Conversations About Inequities in Mathematics Content Courses, and (3) Conversations about Inequities in

Graduate and Professional Development Contexts. Across these sections there are 19 cases and 57 corresponding commentaries focused on

dilemmas that arise when mathematics teacher educators foreground equity in their work. This book of cases provides a needed resource for MTEs

to engage prospective teachers, practicing teachers, and future teacher educators in discussions about inequities, privilege, and oppression in

society, in schools, and in the mathematics classroom. It is the product of the thinking and experiences

of 87 authors who are committed to the improvement of mathematics teacher education.
