"I want to use this opportunity to also give a 'shout out' to several unsung heroines who helped inspire me on my journey as an educator. Women like my first-grade teacher, Mrs. Warner, who allowed me to grow and thrive in her student-centered classroom environment where she provided her young students with choice and differentiated learning opportunities in the 1970s. And my fifth-grade teacher, Mrs. Williams, who truly believed in the brilliance of Black children. 'I can’t' was an unacceptable phrase in Mrs. Williams’ classroom as she challenged us with numerous problem-solving tasks in mathematics." NCTM President Latrenda Knighten reflects on the women who paved the way for her and so many others in #mathematics education: nctm.link/xegue As we celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth, let’s honor the educators, mentors, and trailblazers who continue to inspire and empower future generations.
