From the Desk of Mrs. Kalu
Hello! My name is Chidinma kalu and I’m the Math Equity Program Specialist for
the department of Equity and Targeted Student Achievement. I am currently working
with 14 teachers in 8 schools, consisting of four elementary schools: Barton, Holcomb,
Hunt, Warm Springs and 4 middle schools: Arrowview, Golden Valley, King and
Paakuma, serving over 200 African American students.
My goal is to support teachers in grades 4, 5, and 8 in creating an equitable, high
quality math instruction and culturally responsive instructional practices that meet the
needs of African American students. My work with each teacher may include, classroom
observations and debriefs, coaching, lesson planning, creating learning tasks, co-
teaching, demonstration lessons, and collaboration on best practices that positively
impact learning for African American students.
