Stories From The Field
College Math Professor
“This space helps me feel normal, visible, accepted, and supported in a field where that’s not the norm for Black math teachers.”
STEM Instructional Coach
“This space helps ensure that STEM truly reflects the diversity of our society—not just in numbers, but in voice, presence, and leadership.”
Elementary Teacher
"The Banneker Math Teacher Collective helps teachers recognize their own power—so they can help students see theirs."
What's Next
We’re proud to celebrate the inaugural cohort of the Banneker Math Teacher Collective. These powerful educators have committed to transforming math classrooms into spaces where Black brilliance thrives. Members of the inaugural BMTC cohort will be honored during a special recognition ceremony during the NCTM Conference in Atlanta, GA on Friday, October 17, 2025, at Clark Atlanta University. Join us as we uplift their work and celebrate a growing community of educators who are changing what’s possible in math education.
