How Do I Teach Mathematics in a Culturally Responsive Way?: Identifying Empowering Teaching Practices.

Abstract

I am a middle-school mathematics teacher in an urban school. How do I teach mathematics in a culturally responsive way to my urban students? What does this mean? I know I am White and that my students’ culture is different from me. I also know that I am from a middle-class background and most of my students come from a poverty background. I know I have to respect my students’ culture by including and celebrating Black mathematicians and I do this, but my students are still not learning mathematics successfully. My principal says I am not teaching in a culturally responsive way. So I am confused. I do not know what culturally responsive mathematics teaching means? My goal for this course is to learn how to teach mathematics in a culturally responsive way. How do I teach mathematics in a culturally responsive way? (EuropeanAmerican teacher, Summer, 2008)
