From building safe math classrooms for Black students to Building Thinking Classrooms, I’m on the conference trail this fall! I’ll be reminding math educators to elevate student voice and #LetThemSpeak. #SolutionSpaces #matheducation #StudentVoiceMatters #buildingthinkingclassrooms #LetThemSpeak

⭐️ As a featured speaker at FCTM, I shared positive performance data from my Building Thinking Classrooms implementation. When we #letthemspeak, students thrive in math 📊We have proof. ✅ Our BR.ID.G.E. Framework improves teaching & learning outcomes. Connect with us so we can support your work.

❤️‍🔥 I flew to CA to conduct math TRUSTwalks w/Dionne Aminata. 🔍 We saw our cohort of teachers & leaders who are committed to strengthening their Black math students' learning experiences (which ultimately supports all Ss). 🤝 They’re working intentionally to TRUST their students and to #letTHEMspeak.

💚 It is soo worth the time to work through to that “other side of fear” for students, so they can see themselves as capable doers of mathematics. #blueglassesmath #students #fearlessnessinmath #mathtalk

A7. Do your best to include elements of Black History into the curriculum before (& after) February. Make it part of your routine each day to share about a pivotal contributor to our American history–Black, African, Caribbean, etc. Empower students to embrace humanity in all its hues.

041

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

A6. Teachers must know & see their students beyond the grades they get. They must know their students’ interests & struggles & affirm their dreams. This will allow teachers to create avenues of curricular alignment w/ their students’ goals. It’ll take time, but will be time well spent. #AFFIRMATIONS

030

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

A5. That’s my word-FAMILY! I cultivated a familial connection w/my students so they understood we were all responsible for each other. I invited families into our classroom, i.e. I invited fathers of my AA students to our class to share their work as financial advisors during our stock market unit.

020

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Q4. BH encompasses so much more than just civil rights or social justice figures. There are Black chemists, mathematicians, engineers, poets, & more. Being introduced to one successful Black man or woman may shift the trajectory of a student. That possibility alone makes the extra prep worth it.

120

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Q3. What I’d like to share instead is one way to prepare for a BH project. 1) Curate a list of AAs, at least 30 names. 2) Provide safe, pre-determined links for Ss to use to research. 3) Ask Ss to select their top 3 choices, then you pick their person of study. I'll share a list of resources below.

130

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

Q2. I used students’ lived experiences and their interests in my lesson designs as much as possible: we created norms together; they shared their experiences in various states during our U.S. unit; they were able to use manipulatives for math quizzes & tests; we also had discussions about character.

020

Adrienne Baytops Paul @abpaul3.bsky.social · 21/02/2025

I’ve taught grades K-8. I used to send my 5th graders’ questions about Black History & enslaved people to my friend @drbrooms7.bsky.social of Morehouse. We’d connect with him virtually and he’d answer the questions live. It was a powerful way for them to learn details omitted by curriculum.

✅ A teacher I coach shared—her Ss are more communicative since she’s implemented BTC’s first 3 practices. Another shared—she’s deepening HER understanding of #studentvoice & learning to develop Ss’ agency by providing choices. I love their desires to hone their crafts, even as seasoned educators. 👏🏾👏🏾
