Critical Pedagogy and Math

Math is not linear on Prezi

I found this presentation on Prezi.com I was exploring the website looking for ideas on ways to present my thesis this coming weekend. I came across this presentation in their explore section called "Math is Not Linear". This presentation is amazing and clearly Alison, the woman who created it is a critical pedagogue. Throughout the entire presentation she is advocating for student centered learning that problematizes the ways that we have traditionally thought about math. Whether or not you are a math teacher, if you are an educator at all this presentation will be useful. I can't wait to use some of her ideas in the college classes that I teach on gender and sexuality.

The students of TUSD could use your support tonight!

A Liberatory Praxis with Dominant Identities:

Critical Pedagogy at an Affluent Liberal Arts School

The presenters will discuss the ways in which critical pedagogy is predominantly used to foster the intellectual needs of exploited and oppressed people. Through their experience teaching a course at an affluent liberal arts school, they will discuss the ways critical pedagogy can also be used with privileged communities to help foster a greater understanding power, privilege, and how education can strive to create more just communities.
