She is the owner of Seda Educational Consulting, creator of the VANG Game, and co-author of Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity in the Math Classroom. As a regular speaker about math equity at conferences, Dr. Seda is committed to changing how students experience mathematics, especially those from marginalized groups, and advocates for mathematics instruction that develops all students as mathematical thinkers and problem-solvers.
Dr. Kara Imm
Dr. Kara Imm is a K-12 teacher educator, based in Brooklyn, who designs and leads on-site professional development and school-based coaching to school communities throughout New York City, across the U. S. and internationally. When not partnering with schools, districts and state programs, she supports the student teaching experiences of K – 5th grade candidates in East Harlem through her work at Hunter College (City University of New York). For over a decade, she has created original professional development courses for K-12 STEM teachers at Math for America (MfA). In her research and writing, Kara explores multiple areas of interest: the role of design thinking in teachers’ work with marginalized students; how thinking and talk routines develop math communities where all kids can belong and thrive, and the powerful intersection of mathematical modeling, identity development and culturally relevant pedagogy.
