We are delighted to host Math Equity Scholar, Dr. Sylvia Celedón-Pattichis, as our keynote speaker. Her remarks, titled "Sí Se Puede”: Advocating for Broadening the Participation of Underrepresented Students in STEM," will focus on using equity and advocacy lenses, and asset-based approaches, to teach mathematics in order to broaden the participation of underrepresented students in STEM. She will describe how valorizing all students' cultural and linguistic funds of knowledge as intellectual capital is critical to achieve educational equity, especially in mathematics education.
#Love2TeachLV! Collaborating Teacher/Counselor team members, please invite your #Love2TeachLV! students and their parents/family members to attend!

Advancing the Mathematics Education of
Underrepresented Students through Access and Equity
Using video clips and student work as examples from the field, this session will engage participants in discussing research-based teaching approaches that can advance the mathematics education of all students, particularly for underrepresented students in science, teaching, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Access and equity are foundational components of the work of all teachers, including mathematics teachers. The following promising mathematical teaching approaches will be discussed: 1) creating a mathematics discourse community; 2) positioning students as competent problem solvers; 3) using multimodal representations; and, 4) advocating for students.
