Fixing Bias in Teacher Training Simulations

Liza (Cope) Bondurant, PhD began her career in 2005 as a 7-12
math teacher in upstate New York and is currently an Associate
Professor at Mississippi State University. Liza’s research
focuses on bridging the gap between theory and practice in
mathematics teacher education. She uses an equity-focused lens to
study simulations, noticing, embodied cognition, and math action
technology. She was a PI on two consecutive Department of
Education Math Science Partnership grants (2013-2018) and has
been a research participant on several NSF-funded projects. She
has over twenty peer-reviewed publications, has written and
edited K-20 mathematics curriculum materials, and is an editor of
a forthcoming book Promoting Equity in Approximations of Practice
for Preservice Mathematics Teachers. Liza was selected as the
2020 College Teacher of the Year by the Mississippi Council of
Teachers of Mathematics (MCTM). She served as the President of
the Mississippi Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators
(MAMTE) 2017-2020. Liza enjoys spending time with her family,
walking, biking, and crafting.


Daniel L. Reinholz, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in the
Department of Mathematics and Statistics at San Diego State
University. Dr. Reinholz engaged in groundbreaking work in the
study of classroom equity in postsecondary mathematics. This work
has been organized around the development of the EQUIP tool and
the equity analytics approach, which focuses on generating
actionable data to illuminate the subtle and sometimes invisible
patterns that play out in classroom participation (by race,
gender, disability, etc.). Beyond the classroom, Dr. Reinholz
serves as a Working Group Leader in the Accelerating Systemic
Change Network, which aims to catalyze sustainable and scalable
changes to STEM higher education. This work involves developing
new models grounded in organizational change, and helping STEM
departments build their own capacity for change. Dr. Reinholz has
published over 67 refereed journal articles, and has a
forthcoming book, Equitable and Engaging Mathematics Teaching: A
Guide to Disrupting Hierarchies in the Classroom.
