Helping Preservice Teachers Connect to Students, Subject, and Self
Abstract
Effective teaching involves connecting to the strengths of all students.

It is critical that they recognize the strengths of multilingual students. This article shares two experiences that can help teacher candidates consider these elements within the context of mathematics in meaningful ways.
