Andrea McChristian on Breaking Down Barriers in Math Education

Just Equations National Policy Director Andrea McChristian joins Equity Avengers’ “Equity Chat 2.0” for a wide-ranging conversation about the role of math in education and equity.

McChristian explains how math has been used as a gatekeeper, putting up unnecessary barriers that hold students back, such as inconsistent course requirements, especially for those seeking to transfer to a four-year university.

She reflects on her journey from student to educator to advocate, and how her policy advocacy work is reimagining math education so that all students are prepared and empowered to reach their full potential.
