This course has re-inspired me to incorporate real issues into my curricula in a genuine way - to actually discuss it with my students rather than just throw it in a word problem. I cannot wait to apply what I learned in my classroom next school year!

I appreciated all of the resources available for connecting math to social justice. The videos demonstrating a lesson in action were helpful too, but definitely tailored to a younger age group of students. I think more examples of vetted and proved effective lesson plans would be helpful for implementing the process in a wider setting.

I am so grateful for the time and space to be able to create relevant lessons for students in our community. The course was very well organized, provided meaningful discussion topics, allowed teachers to learn from each other, and even allowed us to step inside of another teacher's classroom (via a video) to really see teaching social justice math in action. I appreciated the timely feedback on assignments and the different tasks we were asked to do all felt informative and authentic and gave us opportunities to improve our craft. Thank you for offering this course!

One of the best courses I've taken in that it is applicable to teaching high school mathematics, provides ample resources that are ready-made for the classroom, and promotes dialog with like-minded teachers in the discussion board.

I enjoyed learning about all of the social justice topics that can be covered, using junior high math. Obviously, math theme problems can get dated and old, but these inform, as well as teach important people-concepts.

The course was very interesting and challenging. There were some articles we had to read that didn't really seem to fit the definition of Social Justice Math. They were more a rant about how education is not equal for all. But overall a very enjoyable class.

I found this course fascinating! Of all the post-graduate courses I have taken, this one has been the one I enjoyed the most and will definitely use in my teaching. I believe using social justice in the mathematics students will motivate students both to learn the math as well as be more aware of the issues that affect their lives.
