Our failure to mathematically educate most students in general, and students of colour in particular, is detrimental not only for these students individually but also for our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eChoosing to See\u003c\/em\u003e, Pamela Seda and Kyndall Brown offer a substantive, rigorous, and necessary set of interventions to move mathematics education toward greater equity, particularly in serving the needs of Black and Brown students, who are underrepresented and underserved as math scholars. The authors' thoughtful ICUCARE equity framework serves as a lens to help teachers see where they are achieving this alignment and where they are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this lens, choosing to see means caring enough about what you see to act. It means accepting that every one of your students can be an expert given the opportunity. It means recognising negative stereotypes about marginalised students and understanding their effects. It means knowing that your students have rich lives outside the classroom that can inform what you do inside the classroom. And it means recognising and celebrating their human dimensions, so that all students' strengths, capabilities, and talents can grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"A provocative and practical read! Seda and Brown remind us that equity is not a destination but a journey we take together with our students, their families, and our colleagues.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — DR. TRENA L.

The authors of this book share rich personal stories that not only help teachers to see their students but to also perceive who they are and what they can become.\"\u003c\/em\u003e — JACQUELINE LEONARD, professor of Mathematics Education, University of Wyoming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eChoosing to See\u003c\/em\u003e is the emotional and spiritual journey that all math educators need to embark on wholeheartedly.
