Eva Mireles and Irma Garcia....the two teachers who lost their lives while trying to save the lives of their students at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX. I salute them both this morning. They are true American heroes whose names should be remembered throughout history.

Hold up. For a decade+, the College Board published Advanced Placement racial+gender participation data.
After using public $ to develop #APCSPrinciples and claiming increased CS 'diversity', they have now removed access to the data.
What's going on @CollegeBoard? #CSforAll

When I made the jump to a gradeless classroom, losing grades wasn't the most consequential learning benefit. Losing power was, for I could no longer use & abuse the power of grades to create conditions of compliance.
I had to learn to create & teach in conditions of commitment.

Notice how they caught him alive & humanize him with old pics
You know what? I’m fine with that. We should treat ALL human beings like human beings. He’s not a monster!
It’s not like he did something evil like wear a hoodie, bring a toy gun to a park or have long dirty toenails

Lastly, I want to plug the book "Inventing the Mathematician" by Sara Hottinger. This text is much more recent than the previous and can offer modern examples of how math culture is shaped. This book is great at showing how gender shapes math culture.

Scholar Alan Bishop authored this amazing text about the culture of Mathematics. This book offers a framework and examples on how mathematics content and cultures can conflict. If u don't consider yourself a math person, then you probably relate to this snippet from the book.

Ron Eglash is a scholar who really gets into how our dependence on European culture undermines the math of hundreds of African societies with REAL EXAMPLES. Highly recommend checking out this TED talk of his bit.ly/3yTzhdr

@GloriaLadson also pointed out how Black culture is one composed of “rhythm, orality, communalism, spirituality, expressive individualism”, amongst other descriptors, that are not represented in our country’s traditional approaches to mathematics curriculum or teaching.

I’ve never met this sister, Dr. Lisa Jones, but the solidarity shown me by Black women in particular during this crucible is something I will never forget.
