TODOS 2026 Conference: Full Schedule

4:30pm PDT

Optional Affinity Group: Asian/Asian American and Pacific Islander Educators

Wednesday June 24, 2026 4:30pm - 5:30pm PDT

Join us for affinity group conversations before the TODOS Mathematics for All conference begins! These groups are designed to bring educators together to connect, share experiences, and build solidarity around shared identities, interests, and goals. Whether you're looking to reflect on your teaching practices, build community, or discuss ways to advance equity in your area of mathematics education, there's a space for you. Final groups will be determined as the event approaches based on interest and space availability.

Culturally Responsive Mathematics Teaching: Cultivando Alegría, Curiosidad, y Justicia

Thursday June 25, 2026 9:00am - 10:30am PDT

Royal B

How do we make mathematics learning and teaching more meaningful and joyous? In this session, we will introduce a culturally responsive mathematics teaching framework designed to reclaim mathematics as a humanizing and justice-focused activity, cultivando curiosidad, creatividad y libertad para estudiantes, familias, y docentes. We will show examples of these practices in action through community-based mathematical modeling tasks/tareas and routines/rutinas as elementary students make meaningful mathematical connections to themselves, their families, and communities. Take action and be inspired! ¡Inspírate a tomar acción! Planning resources (en inglés y algunos en español) will be available.

Bridging Language and Mathematics: Supporting Multilingual Learners Through Linguistically Sustaining Instruction

Thursday June 25, 2026 10:45am - 11:45am PDT

Royal B

Mathematics and language are deeply connected, making intentional, linguistically sustaining instruction essential for multilingual learners (MLLs). This session explores how educators can unpack the linguistic complexity of mathematics to create inclusive, equitable learning environments where every student’s language and reasoning are valued. Participants will explore practical strategies to support simultaneous language and mathematical development and leave with actionable tools to strengthen sensemaking, discourse, and engagement for all students.

Speakers

Odalis Amparo

Mathematics and Multilingual Learners Specialist, Student Achievement Partners

Talk to me about reimagining mathematics education, especially for multilingual learners and students in historically marginalized communities.

I'm a dedicated educator and servant leader working at the intersection of language learning, equitable math instruction, and culturally and linguistically sustaining pedagogy. As a first-generation college graduate and former multilingual learner myself, I've lived the linguistic... Read More →

Positioning Middle Grades Students as Valuable Members of Mathematical Communities

Thursday June 25, 2026 12:45pm - 1:45pm PDT

Royal B

Learn strategies to position students as competent math doers and thinkers. We will begin by framing how our (inter)actions create opportunities for students to be positioned as powerful mathematical thinkers, and then we will do math tasks together and analyze an authentic video of classroom math instruction. Through activities and resources shared, participants will leave ready to design and facilitate productive and just learning environments. Tools and resources-- including 40 freely available online modules, each with a classroom video-- shared will help participants exercise their own curiosity to investigate their teaching with new perspectives and implement new practices.

Translanguaging Strategies for the Multilingual Math Classroom

Thursday June 25, 2026 2:00pm - 3:30pm PDT

Royal B

If you’re looking for transformative ways to include and leverage students’ languages in math instruction, esta sesión es para ti! Together, we’ll define translanguaging and discuss how it differs from traditional language practices and beliefs. We’ll explore specific strategies for translanguaging in mathematics that can be used by any teacher, and with any curriculum, to support multilingual students’ understanding and honor their native languages. Real classroom artifacts, video, and resources will be shared.

Unpacking Eurocentrism in the Secondary Math Classroom Through Ethnomathematics

Friday June 26, 2026 9:30am - 10:30am PDT

Royal B

Have you heard of Pythagoras? Fibonacci? We are aware of the Eurocentric view of Mathematics, but not where these concepts truly originated from. In this session, you will gain practical ideas on how to decolonize your math curriculum by showcasing the non-European roots of these mathematical concepts. Whether you want to create your own elective course or incorporate standalone lessons woven into your math curriculum, you will leave this session with low-lift curriculum resources to bring back to your school contexts to decenter white contributions to the math we learn about in our traditional math classes.

Rewriting stories: Identity work as pathways to belonging and empowerment for students-and ourselves

Friday June 26, 2026 1:00pm - 2:30pm PDT

Royal B

What stories do we and our PK-12 students tell about who belongs in mathematics? Let’s break the mold for our students and for ourselves! In this interactive workshop, we will uncover our own math identities so we can help our students uncover theirs, and explore how unproductive beliefs and implicit biases shape pedagogy and assessment. Together, we’ll reimagine teaching practices that center belonging, disrupt inequities, and empower all learners to thrive in mathematics in PK-12 classrooms.
