Mindfulness isn’t just about finding inner peace; it’s a dynamic tool that can revolutionize the way students engage with math, enrich their math identities, and simultaneously empower educators.

This resource helps teachers create inclusive, engaging group work experiences using Complex Instruction (CI). It provides strategies to promote equitable participation, recognize and shift student status, and establish actionable norms. Teachers can use these insights to foster deeper learning, collaboration, and student confidence in their classrooms.

This tool aids early career STEM teachers in meaningful discussions about implementing equitable teaching practices across all grade bands and content levels.

This blog highlights a teacher’s journey in fostering student collaboration and scientific identity using Complex Instruction (CI) and the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It emphasizes actionable norms, inclusive curriculum, and elevating student status to create a classroom where every student believes they are a scientist, enhancing access and engagement for all learners.

This presentation shares early-career math teachers’ conceptions of doing math gained through inquiry on the math practices and offers suggestions for how this might make teaching and learning math more inclusive.
