Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education: Forging New Paths
is about enhancing the practices of mathematics teachers by
extending the concepts of access, equity, and empowerment to
include students living with all types of disabilities. These
students are rarely thought of as mathematics doers and thinkers,
and so are seldom offered opportunities to engage in mathematics in
meaningful and connected ways. Humanizing Disability examines the
current mindset and pedagogy that students with different learning
needs encounter, and then offers strategies and practices to
humanize the mathematics experience for these students. In the
first part of the book, the authors lay out some key ideas about
humanizing mathematics education for students with disabilities. As
teachers of mathematics of teacher educators and students with
disabilities, as well as with their own backgrounds as learners
with identified disabilities, the authors' case and perspective are
informed by hands-on episodes of their work and their own lived
experiences. Foundational to the authors' advocacy are these
compelling concepts: Students with disabilities are mathematics
doers and thinkers. There are multiple ways of knowing and doing
mathematics. The idea that disability is a tragedy must be
resisted. Humanizing mathematics education is a matter of human
rights to counter conventional, deficit-centered forms of education
involving students with disabilities. Humanizing the mathematics
education of students with disabilities enhances the learning of
all. Theory and argument isn't practice, so Humanizing Disability
offers practical examples of implementation through the exploration
of singular cases of how an Individual Education Plan (IEP) can be
a powerful tool for access, equity, and inclusivity for the
disabled learner; of using funds of knowledge and of identity to
navigate the education system; and of building inclusive classrooms
and communities. Humanizing Disability in Mathematics Education:
Forging New Paths offers an inclusive way to think about
mathematics education involving individuals with disabilities. It
goes beyond the walls of the mathematics classrooms to address
issues of dignity, access, and empowerment. For those whose mission
it is to bring meaningful mathematics to each and every student, it
is a must-have reference for your professional library.
