Learning to teach math teachers better with Dr. Brittany L. Marshall, Assistant Professor at San Diego State University in the College of Education, as we discuss her advice and expertise as a mathematics teacher educator and her work to disrupt traditional mathematics logics that exclude students from intentionally-neglected communities.

Learning to teach math teachers better with Dr. Steve Rhine (Pacific University) and Rachel Harrington (George Fox Univeristy), who share about their work with teachers in documenting and sharing ways to use digital curriculum in mathematics. They offer compelling reasons for staying connected to classrooms, and their team has created a database of videos of teachers (primarily in grades 2-5) from across the U.S. using digital mathematics curricula.
