Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Preservice Mathematics Teachers

Carrie Wilkerson Lee

Within the field of preservice mathematics teacher (PST) education, a profound challenge echoes—the persistent gap between theoretical understanding and practical application. This lingering divide raises a critical concern, one that finds its focus in the exploration of transformative tools known as approximations of practice. These tools aim to provide a realistic and contextualized environment for PSTs to cultivate their teaching skills. However, the broader, oft-overlooked issue permeating this educational terrain is the question of equity in mathematics instruction—an issue that this book endeavors to unravel and reshape, positioning equity at the forefront of pedagogical considerations. Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice for Preservice Mathematics Teachers , a compelling work that not only delves into the transformative role of approximations but also champions equity as a cornerstone in reshaping the landscape of mathematics education. This groundbreaking work has a dual objective—firstly, to furnish mathematics teacher educators and researchers with a comprehensive overview of the current landscape of approximations in mathematics education. It moves beyond a mere survey, encouraging readers to critically analyze frameworks and design choices that either foreground or dismiss equity in these pedagogical spaces. Divided into three sections, the book delves into the spectrum of work characterizing approximations in mathematics teacher education. The first section surveys diverse approaches, acknowledging the current lack of focus on equity. The second section critically examines the intersection of equity and approximations, fostering collaborations between experts in mathematics education and equity-focused researchers. The third section takes a forward-looking stance, envisioning the future of equity-focused approximations in mathematics education.

Creating Diverse Experiences for Rural Appalachian Pre-Service Teachers

Kimberly Dianne Cassidy

Diversity is on the rise in classrooms across the United States. However, there's a significant gap in preparing rural Appalachian pre-service teachers to meet the challenges of this changing landscape. These educators face a lack of training opportunities in diverse environments due to the limitations of their geographical location and available resources. As a result, they may enter the education field without the necessary cultural competence to effectively engage with a diverse student body. This disparity in experience and understanding can lead to unequal educational outcomes for students and hinder the development of inclusive learning environments. Creating Diverse Experiences for Rural Appalachian Pre-Service Teachers provides a comprehensive solution to this challenging issue. It offers a detailed account of how a small Midwest university, in collaboration with the local community, addressed the problem by creating a symbiotic relationship that enriches the educational experiences of both pre-service teachers and students. This groundbreaking partnership not only expands the pre-service teachers' understanding of diversity but also enhances the academic and social-emotional support provided to pre-k-12 students at the center.
