We end our first podcast season with a topic that is on all of our minds: relationships! How do we search for and cultivate meaningful professional relationships as mentors or mentees? What does it mean to decolonize the mentor/mentee relationship? Briana Rodriguez of Los Angeles, CA was a mathematics high school teacher prior to her move, and is currently a doctoral students and advisee of Dr. Kari Kokka at the University of Pittsburg, PA. They reflect on their advisee/advisor relationship with each other, and what is means to build meaningful relationships with students in high school classrooms.

S1e12: Mentoring Relationships with Kari Kokka and Briana Rodriguez

The TODOS: Mathematics for ALL Podcast explores the intersection of mathematics education, social justice, and identity. Season 4 brings in new hosts, Theodore Chao and Shari Kaku, to amplify the voices of educators, activists, and community leaders who challenge traditional norms and reimagining math education as an inclusive and humanizing practice.  Season 4 focuses Invisibility &amp; Hypervisibility in Mathematics Education: An Exploration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Mathematics Identities. Hosts Theodore Chao and Shari Kaku, both Asian American mathematics educators,  engage with guests in deep, narrative-driven conversations that challenge conventional narratives and stereotypes, like the model minority myth. These discussions uncover racial and cultural dynamics, drawing connections between Asian American and Latinx/e students’ experiences, shared struggles, and pathways to self-determination.   Whether you're an educator, advocate, or simply curious about how math intersects with identity and justice, the TODOS Podcast invites you to join these conversations and explore the transformative power of mathematics to uncover hidden narratives, foster solidarity, and reimagine equitable education. Thanks to Dr. Maria Zavala, founder and previous hosts of the TODOS: Mathematics for ALL podcast.
