They might also want to contact local recycling companies and compare rates, distance, and hours of operation to see which company provides the best deal. This dimension is concerned mainly with interactions between teachers and students and requires a mutual respect for culture, not just in terms of historical contributions and artifacts, but in every aspect of instruction. Teachers believe that all students can learn mathematics and teach accordingly. Teachers see themselves as facilitators helping students to construct their own knowledge of mathematics. Teachers understand and accept that learning styles are baseline essentials for providing educational equity in the classroom.
Teachers are passionate about content.
Teacher-student relationships are fluid, humanely equitable, and extend beyond the classroom into the community. An example of a program that fosters equitable pedagogy is The Algebra Project, a program founded by Robert P. Moses, an African-American mathematician and parent who wanted to ensure that his and other children develop a concrete understanding of algebra. For example, to develop understanding of signed numbers, students begin with the physical activity of riding a subway train. As the students and their teacher travel on the subway, they notice where the train stops. Empowering school culture and social structure.
