Dr. Christopher Emdin
Teaching and Learning Mathematics from the Student’s Standpoint
Friday, March 16, 2018, 8:00 a.m.
In an age where terms like “multiculturalism” and “cultural relevance” have been littered across the educational landscape, teachers and administrators still have a challenging time implementing instructional approaches and tools that meet the needs of a diverse student population. This is particularly the case in the teaching of mathematics, where perceptions of mathematics creates psychological blocks between students and the discipline. In this address, education speaker Christopher Emdin describes approaches to engaging youth in mathematics and statistics in ways that address how and why they are disconnected from the discipline, and offers a path forward.
About Chris Emdin
Dr. Christopher Emdin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology at Teachers College, Columbia University; where he also serves as Director of Science Education at the Center for Health Equity and Urban Science Education. He is also the Associate Director of the Institute for Urban and Minority Education at Teachers College, Columbia University. He is an alumni fellow at the Hutchins Center at Harvard University, and currently serves as Minorities in Energy Ambassador for the U.S. Department of Energy and the STEAM Ambassador for the U.S. Department of State.
Dr. Emdin is a social critic, public intellectual and science advocate whose commentary on issues of race, culture, inequality and education have appeared in dozens of influential periodicals including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post.
Dr. Emdin holds a Ph.D in Urban Education with a concentration in Mathematics, Science, and Technology; Masters degrees in both Natural Sciences and Education Administration, and Bachelors degrees in Physical Anthropology, Biology, and Chemistry.
He is the creator of the #HipHopEd social media movement, and a much sought-after public speaker on a number of topics that include hip-hop education, STEM education, politics, race, class, diversity, and youth empowerment.

Earn Digital Badges at ICTCM
Pearson is dedicated to providing the tools you need to achieve your professional goals. At ICTCM, you’ll develop new skills you can immediately put to use through sessions focused on integrating educational technology into your courses, and inspiring students in fresh ways.
What is a digital badge?
A digital badge is a web-enabled version of a credential, certification, or learning outcome.
How is my credential displayed as a badge?
We partner with Acclaim, a badging platform backed by Pearson, to translate your demonstrated learning outcomes into a digital badge. Acclaim’s technology is based on the Open Badge standards defined by Mozilla and enables you to manage, share, and verify your credential digitally.
What are the benefits of a digital badge?
Representing your credential as a badge lets you share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted, and easily verified in real-time. Badges give employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to do earn your credential—and what you’re now capable of.
Who is Acclaim?
Acclaim is a product of Pearson, the world’s leading learning company. Acclaim works with credible organizations to provide digital credentials to individuals.
Who is eligible to earn a ICTCM 2018 badge?
Badges are available to all ICTCM 2018 attendees (virtual and in-person), speakers, and award winners.
How will I know if I've earned a badge?
You’ll receive an email notification from Acclaim with instructions on how to claim your badge and set up your account for managing, sharing, and verifying your certification.
What if I don't want my credential to be public?
All information regarding you and your credentials can be easily configured in your Acclaim account. You’re in complete control of the information about yourself that’s made public.
Is there a fee to use Acclaim?
No. Using Acclaim to manage, share, and verify your credentials is free to badge earners.
How do I ensure my badges are secured and uniquely my own?
While badges are simply digital image files, they are uniquely linked to data hosted on the Acclaim platform. This link makes them more reliable and secure than a traditional, paper-based credential. It also eliminates the possibility of anyone claiming your credential and your associated identity.
How and where can I share my credential through Acclaim?
Every credential and profile on Acclaim has a unique URL that is sharable via email, on sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, or embeddable on a website or resume. You can also add your badge to an email signature.
What are labor market insights and how can I access them through Acclaim?
Labor market insights contain information pulled from active requisitions across the United States. Based on your skills, you can learn which employers are hiring, what job titles and salaries you might be qualified for, and more. To access this information, select any of the skill tags on your badges.
Will my Acclaim profile include badges that have been issued to me from other platforms?
No. Acclaim doesn’t support uploading badges issued by other platforms.
Can I export badges issued from Acclaim to other badge storing platforms?
Not at this time. The current open badge infrastructure standards do not allow for real-time verification of our badges outside the Acclaim platform, which is a main priority for ensuring verification. Acclaim is working with the open badge community on solutions for this issue.
I should have been issued a badge, but never received a notification email. How can I get my badge?
Contact Joanne Foster and be sure to add no-reply@youracclaim.com to your email’s safe sender list.
Where can I find support for the Acclaim platform?
Visit Acclaim’s Support page for more answers to frequently-asked questions.
