Summary "This was part of a reflection from a graduate student in one of our mathematics education courses. The students were all teachers, asked to complete an assignment incorporating culturally relevant teaching into a lesson plan. The concern expressed in the reflection was about potential pushback associated with delivering such a lesson - not from students, but from administrators and possibly parents"-- Provided by publisher.
