Can Simulation Train Equitable Teaching?

Exploring how simulations are shaping education research and
practice, with insights from the book Promoting Equity through
Approximations of Practice in Mathematics Education. It examines
how approximations of practice can help educators sharpen their
skills while keeping equity at the forefront. It’s not just about
improving instruction; it’s about ensuring that all students,
regardless of background, have access to high-quality learning
experiences.
