Revisiting the Influence of Math Links: Building Learning Communities in Urban Settings
Leonard, Jacqueline; Evans, Brian R.
Journal of Urban Mathematics Education, v11 n1-2 p142-151 Dec 2018
It has been a decade since the article "Math Links: Building Learning Communities in Urban Settings" (referenced throughout as Math Links) was published in the inaugural issue of the "Journal of Urban Mathematics Education" ("JUME"; Leonard & Evans, 2008). The Math Links study, as reported in that article, investigated teacher interns' attitudes and beliefs about their interactions with urban students in a community-based setting. In that article, it was acknowledged that changing teacher attitudes and beliefs can be challenging, but nonetheless accomplished. The goal for the teacher interns was to transform attitudes and beliefs about teaching mathematics to urban students from routine and decontextualized ways to classroom practices in which culturally based and social justice oriented methods framed instruction. Here, we reflect on that work for the 10th anniversary issue of "JUME" and how that project has influenced our teaching, research, and scholarship in mathematics education over the past decade
