This book builds on the Teachers Empowered to Advance Change in Mathematics (TEACH Math) project, which was an initiative that sought to develop a new generation of preK-8 mathematics teachers to connect mathematics, children's mathematical thinking, and community and family knowledge in mathematics instruction - or what we have come to call children's multiple mathematical knowledge bases in mathematics instruction, with an explicit focus on equity. Much of the work involved in the TEACH Math project included the development of three instructional modules for preK-8 mathematics methods courses to support the project's goals. These activities were used and refined over eight semesters, and in Fall 2014 shared at a dissemination conference with other mathematics teacher educators from a variety of universities across the United States. Chapter contributions represent diverse program and geographical contexts and teach prospective and practicing teachers from a variety of socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds, in particular providing accounts of supports, challenges, and tensions in implementing equity-based mathematics teacher education. The chapters supply rich evidence and illustrative examples of how other mathematics teacher educators and professional developers might make the modules work for their unique practices, courses, workshops, and prospective teachers/teachers. It promises to be an important resource for offering guidance and examples to those working with prospective teachers of mathematics who want to create positive, culturally responsive, and equity-based mathematics experiences for our nation's youth.

Tonya Gau Bartell is an Associate Professor of Mathematics Education at Michigan State University. Bartell's research focuses on issues of culture, race, and power in mathematics teaching and learning with particular attention to teachers' development of mathematics pedagogy for social justice and pedagogy integrating a focus on children's multiple mathematical knowledge bases. She served as co-chair of the 2015 Annual Meeting of PME-NA from which this book arose, is on the Editorial Board of Mathematics Teacher Education and Development and is a co-editor of the Journal of Teacher Education.

"This book may be recommended for mathematics teacher educators interested in including a more equity-focused lens into their teacher education programs, particularly those who may not have experience in this arena. ... This makes the text particularly useful as a personal reference guide, especially when implementing specific ideas, modules, or the entirety of the TEACH Math project."
