Today we speak with Farshid Safi from the University of Central Florida. We reached out to Farshid after his presentation in NCTM 100 Days of Learning.

In Farshid’s work with educators he helps teachers see how context and connection must take priority above all else. He weaves the mathematical content we have to teach with student identity and their humanness.

Stick around while we learn how to have conversations about equity with your colleagues, why we need to be generalists instead of specialists and, how can we as educators impact our community?

What you’ll learn:

• How to have conversations about equity with your colleagues.
• Why we need to be generalists instead of specialists.
• Why we need to have a 6 foot view of our teaching and also a 6000 foot view.
• How can we as educators impact our community?
