Daniel Reinholz, Effective and Equitable Teaching: IBL Teaching Podcast

It was my great pleasure to have a friendly conversation with Daniel Reinholz, San Diego State University. Daniel recently published Equitable and Engaging Mathematics Teaching: A Guide to Disrupting Hierarchies in the Classroom. It's an approachable, conversational style book that sets the stage about equity, hierarchies and leads readers to doable classroom methods or approaches that can help level the playing field in math classes.

Based on my experiences and professional opinion, a handful of key changes can make a big difference in participation in your classroom. It isn't the case that either you make massive changes or do nothing. There's a pathway to get better and better with reasonable sized steps. Change is doable.

In this video we cover topics including Discourses (Foucault) in Math, deconstructing stereotypes, steps we can take in our math classes, and disability justice. Enjoy!

IBL and Large Classes (an example)

Large classes come with more logistical challenges, but using IBL in these contexts is still doable and rewarding. It's not the same as small classes, but many good things can happen in large classes.  Check out the podcast episode below!

Robin Wilson Interview on the IBL Podcast

It's my great pleasure to have the opportunity to talk to Robin Wilson, Loyola Marymount University. This is episode we talked about the Algebra Project and its impact on students, and the connection to math literacy as a civil right. 

Robin shared his insights about working with students, teachers, and how Bob Moses saw the need to plant seeds for a larger effort to help all students have a quality education.
