Educational Theory and Practice in Teaching Mathematics III

This course is a continuation of Educational Theory and Practice 1 and 2. It is designed to provide a space for math MAT candidates in their spring student teaching placement to develop their pedagogical content knowledge of culturally responsive teaching as it pertains specifically to teaching mathematics in middle and high school levels. Continuing from the work we did in the summer and the fall, this course delves more deeply into thinking about what it means to be culturally responsive in curriculum and instruction, particularly in approaches to discourse, assessment, and interdisciplinary connections.
