Urban school leaders can support mathematics instruction that acknowledges and sustains students' racialized and cultured ways of knowing and being.

Traditionally, design -- and by extension design education -- has focused on the creation of distinct outputs (forms, artefacts, and objects) that satisfy a specific purpose and need.
