Project Description

View help for Summary
Increasingly, there is consensus that equitable mathematics instruction incorporates ambitious and culturally responsive (CR) practices. Using self-reported survey data and mixture modeling, we examine teachers’ emphasis on ambitious, traditional, and CR mathematics practices. We offer an emergent typology for characterizing teacher engagement with CR teaching in mathematics. One-half of teachers—predominantly white, experienced—reported rarely engaging in CR practices, focusing exclusively on a mix of ambitious and traditional practices. One-third of teachers emphasized some CR practices alongside ambitious and traditional practices. Less than one-quarter of teachers—predominantly teachers of color—emphasized ambitious mathematics and a robust set of CR practices. Teachers who de-emphasize CR teaching report believing in it but having low self-efficacy. We offer implications for policy and practice.
