"When we are so solution focused, students are afraid to be wrong... And I wonder how that applies to voters. How can we ever feel safe to change our minds?"

When @cluzniak.bsky.social speaks, I am seated and listening and learning. #NCSMRiseUp #NCSM2025

Dr. Ladson-Billings details four things that challenge poor students and students of color in mathematics. So grateful to be learning from her this morning. #NCSM2025 #NCSMRiseUp

Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings presenting. Four things that challenge poor students and students of color in mathematics. Belief in mathematics as culture neutral. Limited access to well prepared teachers. Limited access to appropriate curriculum. Limited access to powerful pedagogy.
