Compassion in & Access to Learning Mathematics (CALM)

Abstract

Research indicates that students from minoritized groups are more likely to pursue STEM degrees if they can see how these fields benefit their communities and if they are in classrooms where they experience micro or macro-affirmations. In this presentation, I will share my perspectives, based on research and personal experiences, on how we can create learning environments that provide our students access to learning mathematics. I argue that we can help students see the value of mathematics challenging them, providing a supportive learning environment, and creating a space where they have a voice in their learning.
