Poetry Corner
No full textLawrence Lesser (The University of Texas at El Paso) is often inspired to write songs or poems related to mathematics education topics. Such creative work can communicate important points with more efficiency and emotion for broader audiences, and TEEM readers are invited to explore this as well. In this mathematical poem, he explores expected value and the mean in the context of social media
Developing Sociopolitical Consciousness through Lorraine Hansberry’s A Raisin in the Sun: An Interdisciplinary Project
No full textThis article describes an interdisciplinary project that combined the subject matters of mathematics and English/language arts while adapting the storyline of A Raisin in the Sun (Hansberry, 1984). The key teaching objectives, in this project, were to progress students toward mastery of linear and exponential functions, show them a connection between literacy and mathematics, and educate them on the struggles of Black Americans. We position the mathematics portion of the project within a fitting framework for social justice teaching, discuss its emergence and implementation, and offer teacher and student reflections for future replication and refinement
Enhancing Fieldwork Supervision During Early Childhood Inclusive Practicum Placements: Opportunity for Collaboration Between Institutes of Higher Education
No full textThis manuscript outlines a collaborative initiative among four state universities to enhance practicum and field-based experiences for early childhood education (ECE) candidates. Grounded in research highlighting the impact of early childhood experiences, the collaboration addresses challenges in the ECCE workforce by fostering inclusive decision-making and engagement with ECCE partners. Through dialogue and partnership, the initiative aims to ensure comprehensive training and support for future early childhood educators. It highlights the evolution of practicum experiences, emphasizing collaborative relationships between novice teachers, mentor teachers, and university supervisors. Key components include the creation of universal training modules and an open-source platform to house training materials. The manuscript concludes with recommendations for enhancing practicum experiences and addressing workforce challenges, emphasizing ongoing collaboration and partnership in promoting high-quality early childhood education
Historical Roots in Positioning Chinese International Students in the US: Race and Culture from 1872-1949
No full textChinese international students (CIS) have been entangled in a complex narrative of anti-Asian sentiments that dates back to their early interactions in the United States. Yet, a lack of research has focused on the historical roots and racial dynamics of CIS have encountered. This study will focus on the first two waves (1872-1949) to examine CIS experiences, history, and roots of anti-Chinese sentiment. Positioning theory is used as the conceptual lens to examine how CIS located themselves and were positioned by others, delineating duties, rights, expectations, and obligations in the first two waves. Critical discourse analysis serves as the methodology, allowing an in-depth analysis of textual language to uncover patterns of dominance, and power dynamics, and identify the inclusion and exclusion based on language use. The findings contribute insights into the historical aspects of anti-Chinese sentiment, elucidating the multifaceted positionings of CIS within the American socio-cultural landscape.

Differentiating Mathematics Instruction for Multilingual Students using Critical Sociocultural Practices
No full textThis paper defines and elaborates on a three-tiered transformative approach to differentiating mathematics instruction for multilingual learners, which includes increasing use of small group instruction, improving the quality of assistance during learning, and creating a culture of recognition that affirms all learners. Using supporting evidence from instructional coaching studies, this paper identifies challenges faced by general education mathematics teachers at each tier of differentiation. While coached elementary and secondary teachers made significant gains in implementing this approach to differentiation, secondary mathematics teachers, in particular, had significantly less growth. Implications for increasing mathematics teachers’ knowledge and skills in differentiating instruction for multilingual learners are addressed
