13:A Making Cultural Assets Count: Funds of Math Knowledge in a Yucatec Maya community and middle school
 
Presenter(s): Dr. Felicia Darling
 
This six-month ethnographic, mixed-methods study explored problem-solving approaches in one Yucatec Maya community in México, and how these cultural assets could be used to inform instruction in a local middle school. This study illuminates a wealth of community math knowledge and a wide variety of innovative approaches to solving everyday problems. In addition, it pilots two inquiry-based math tasks in a Yucatec Maya middle school that are based on real-life, everyday problems from the village. This study supports the idea that students who say, “I am not good in math.” or those who have historically underperformed on standardized tests are competent math learners and mathematicians. Furthermore, these students possess innovative approaches to problem solving that may inform how we teach math, engineering, and maker space skills to all students.

88:A A Strengths-Based Approach: Foundations, Benefits & Outcomes
 
Presenter(s): Joe Darin

Overcoming deficits is an essential part of the fabric of our society. The stories we tell often feature the underdog who triumphs against all odds. Many organizations, schools, and families use a model that focuses on fixing weakness and ignoring strengths. However, decades of research show that going down the path of weakness fixing is the path of more resistance. Have you ever been told to “just keep trying” to do something that you are clearly not good at? Writing? Math? Public speaking? Being emotionally aware of people? These are talents. Some people have them; some do not. Trying to get better doing something that you do not have the talents for can be frustrating, time-consuming, and typically does not yield a good return on the investment of time and energy. A strengths approach turns this idea on its head: you will get more return on your investment if you focus on what you have a natural talent for, what energizes and motivates you. People who are able to use their strengths are six times more likely to be engaged their jobs. We will discuss how to identify your strengths, how to leverage them, and be more productive, engaged, and happy.

Presenter(s): Leon Hsu, Abigail Zoger
 
This seminar meets every 2 to 3 weeks for 45 minutes. Participants discuss a pre-determined topic in the teaching of STEM courses, including ideas related to that topic they have tried in the classroom (whether the results were good or not), techniques they'd like to incorporate in their teaching, and advice for others thinking of trying out those ideas. The purpose is to provide a place where STEM faculty can discuss their teaching ideas in a supportive environment, giving and receiving ideas and advice about teaching. Participants may come to any or all sessions.

89:A El Dia de Guadalupe Gathering and Lecture by Laura Larqué
 
Presenter(s): Laura Larqué
 
A hugely important spiritual and cultural figure throughout the Mexican diaspora and Latin America broadly, La Virgen de Guadalupe is both Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, and Tonantzin, the Aztec mother goddess. Learn about her hybrid or "syncretic" origins and what that says about colonialism, conquest, and the resilience of indigenous cultures in this talk by SRJC history instructor Laura Larqué. All are welcome to bring representations of Tonantzin/Guadalupe and place them on the altar in Our House during the lead-up to December 12, the day observed by many as El Dia de Guadalupe.

There will be a pre-lecture gathering in Our House from 12:30-1:30pm. Location: Our House Intercultural Center, PC 116
