Module 2, Post 1
Dr. Florence Glanfield is currently Vice-Provost of Indigenous Programming and Research and a Professor of Mathematics Education, at the University of Alberta. She was a guest contributor for “Equity Matters” and shared her article “Yes, I am Aboriginal and I Enjoy Mathematics”. I really enjoyed this guest blog; it teaches not to stereotype using her own personal story. I definitely want to use her story in my classroom!
Dr. Glanfield can serve as a positive role model for achievement in mathematics, academia, and reconciliation. Here is a Dr. Glanfield’s bio from a spring 2020 PD session addressing math and science teachers and leaders in education.
