What Preservice Teachers and Teacher Educators Can Learn from Trajectories

National Science Foundation

We have argued (Terada, 2021) that the maintenance of false perceptions about STEM disciplines, specifically mathematics, plays a role in Black teachers’ participation in the field, and as a corollary, Black preservice teachers. A leading argument for bringing more STEM teachers into the field is rooted in commodification.
