2025 MidSchoolMath National Conference

In this session, middle school math educators, coaches, and school leaders will explore how to create equitable and thinking-centered math classrooms by centering the experiences of black female students. Using a real case study as the foundation, we will delve into the systemic challenges these students face and learn how intentional classroom practices can empower them to succeed in mathematics.

The session will focus on how educators can foster growth mindsets, encourage meaningful classroom conversations, and build thinking classrooms to support the unique needs of marginalized students. You'll leave with actionable strategies to transform your classrooms into spaces where all students - regardless of race or gender - can thrive.
