Nepantla Cohorts Interest Form
Nepantla Teachers Community will be offering virtual cohorts for educators who are teaching math as a political act. By the word political, we do not mean political parties like Republican/Democrat. We are referring to understanding that mathematics is not a neutral, unaffected subject but that power dynamics are involved. These power dynamics should be examined so that teachers can make changes toward liberation.
