Kudos: White receives inaugural Karen D. King Excellence in Advocacy Award from AMTE
Dorothy Y. White, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, received the inaugural Karen D. King Excellence in Advocacy Award from the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) for her advocacy and contributions to mathematics teacher education.
King was a mathematics education researcher and educator who challenged those in the field to focus their research, teaching, and service on ensuring students receive a quality education. “It is an honor to be the first recipient of this award and to know that my colleagues see my work as important and valuable in supporting Karen King’s legacy,” White said.
White—whose research centers on access, equity, and culture in mathematics education and teachers’ professional learning communities—hopes to improve the fields of mathematics and science education by encouraging students, teachers, and colleagues to share their knowledge and experiences with others.
