“…Leonard, Brooks, Barnes-Johnson, and Berry (2010) suggest that preservice mathematics teachers engage in culturally relevant social justice examples in their coursework. Teachers also need to be compassionate (Oplatka & Gamerman, 2017) and attend to social emotional needs to foster safe and caring relationships with students (Hannegan-Martinez, 2015) as recommended by trauma-informed care (e.g., Cole et al, 2005), SJM (Gutstein, 2006), and radical healing, for example, through relational pedagogy (Ginwright, 2016). Engaging in this work may also require teachers to learn about mathematics pedagogical approaches that promote equitable student participation, for example, group work such as Complex Instruction (Boaler, 2008), encouraging productive struggle, developing sociomathematical norms (Yackel & Cobb, 1996), and fostering growth mind-set approaches (Dweck, 2008), which Ms. Charles herself mentioned.…”
