Friday Keynote Speaker: Dr. Omayra Ortega
47 Ways that Teaching Social Justice Will Make You Rich
In a perfect world I would create custom lesson plans for each new semester’s crop of students. I would tailor each example I use in class to meet the social, cultural, and mathematical needs of my students. I believe in the tenets of social justice, but I simply don’t have the time to do all of this. So, what can a well-meaning conscious teacher do? During this talk, I will share the changes that I have made to my pedagogy to create a more inclusive and equity-focused classroom environment, as well as the challenges that I’ve faced along the way. Audience members will learn practical ways of bringing the ideas of social justice into their classrooms on both the macro and micro scale.
Dr. Omayra Ortega, Sonoma State University. Using the tools from statistics, mathematics, public health and epidemiology, Dr. Ortega tackles the emerging health issues. She is deeply committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented minorities in STEM and mentoring students through the challenges of academia.
Saturday Keynote Speaker: Dr. Jo Boaler
Limitless: Learn, Lead and Live without Barriers.
Recent years have seen an explosion of scientific evidence, from neuroscience, psychology and education showing that there is a different way to teach and learn, available to us all. When people take a limitless approach to learning – in mathematics and in life – different pathways open up to them, leading to higher, more equitable and more enjoyable achievement. Mindset messages are important but they do not take root unless they are accompanied by a multiplicity approach to content and life. In this session we will consider what a mindset and multiplicity approach to mathematics is. We will watch videos of students, work on mathematics together, and think together about ways to create equitable and engaging learning experiences that are limitless.
Note: Dr. Boaler would like you to have a look at this "mystery graph" prior to attending her talk. Am I crazy, or does this look like a plot of,... uh..., well,..., uh..., geeze, you know what I mean.
Dr. Boaler recently made an appearance on Freakonomics Radio discussing mathematics education.
Dr. Jo Boaler is a Professor of Mathematics Education at Stanford University, and the faculty director of youcubed. She is the author of the first MOOC on mathematics teaching and learning. Former roles have included being the Marie Curie Professor of Mathematics Education in England, a mathematics teacher in London comprehensive schools and a lecturer and researcher at King’s College, London. Her PhD won the national award for educational research in the UK. She is an elected fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (Great Britain), and a former president of the International Organization for Women and Mathematics Education (IOWME). She is the recipient of a National Science Foundation ‘Early Career Award’, the NCSM Kay Gilliland Equity Award (2014) and the CMC Walter Denham Mathematics Leadership award (2015). She is the author of fourteen books and numerous research articles. She recently formed www.youcubed.org to give teachers, parents and students the resources and ideas they need to inspire and excite students about mathematics. Her work has been published in the New York Times, TIME magazine, The Telegraph, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal and many other news outlets. She was recently named one of the 8 educators "changing the face of education" by the BBC.
