Pillars and Practices: A Framework to Catalyze Change at the Margins (Open to All)

Presented by Nolan Fossum

Imagine the mathematics classroom where every learner is successful. In this space, every student has access to the joy, wonder, and beauty of mathematics. Attention to each student’s mathematical identity and agency are primary. I believe that the work of ensuring this is the classroom environment we build for every child begins with a change in the teacher’s mindset and actions. Join me as I share my journey designing and planning around the Pillars and Practices framework. I’ll share examples of classroom tasks, student work samples, and how I’m learning to honor students’ brilliance in my ungraded classroom.
