About this listen
The "Getting to the Core of Wayne RESA" podcast features Dr. Jennifer Banks (Washtenaw), Yarisha Johnson (Oakland), and Cherron Ramsey (Wayne County), the trio behind Tri-County Culturally Responsive Mathematics, who have transformed a pandemic-era vision into a five-year movement serving nearly 850 students. These three educators are proving that culturally responsive pedagogy combines rigorous mathematics with meaningful, community-centered learning that empowers students to see themselves as mathematical thinkers and problem-solvers. Through summer institutes, leadership conferences, and student showcases featuring renowned speakers like Dr. Chris Emdin and Dr. Bettina Love, they're breaking the generational curse of "I'm not a math person" and replacing it with mathematical empowerment. Their collaborative approach across three Michigan counties demonstrates how educators can work together to create lasting systemic change that serves all students.
