Anita Wager
  Faculty


Anita Wager is an Assistant Professor in mathematics education in Curriculum and Instruction.

Dr. Wager’s research focus is on broadening notions of teaching mathematics for understanding by incorporating the cultural and socio-political contexts in which students live and learn. She is particularly interested in professional development that supports teachers as they draw on the rich mathematical resources from students’ homes and communities to develop culturally relevant and responsive mathematics pedagogy. Dr. Wager’s current project extends her research into early childhood in a study of a professional development for culturally relevant teaching and learning in 4K mathematics.
