This session explores how high school math teachers shifted from deficit to asset-based positioning of emergent bilinguals (EBs) through a year-long collaborative professional development focused on mathematical modeling. Using positioning theory as an analytical lens, we examine how classroom discourse shapes student agency and access to mathematics. Participants will engage in interactive activities, including sorting excerpts and reflective discussions, to analyze how language and context influence perceptions of EBs’ capabilities. We share findings from seven teachers working with linguistically diverse students and offer actionable strategies for fostering equity and transforming institutional structures in mathematics education.
