Chapter 16: Creating an Equitable Learning Environment for Teachers of Grades K-8 Mathematics. Valerie DeBellis (Shodor Education Foundation, Greenville, North Carolina) and Joseph Rosenstein (Rutgers University) present a program in which teachers are exposed to new mathematics topics and are provided with an environment that enables all of them to learn the topics. In this program teachers are amazed with what they are able to learn, and they are constantly encouraged to reflect on how they are learning the new material. It is hoped that through the teachers’ own experiences with learning in such a risk-free and empowering environment that the teachers will do the same with their own students.
