I am so excited about this book. It is absolutely fitting that the authors begin by telling their “Why” because this work is personal to them and therefore POWERFUL from the start. The mnemonic for “I See You Care” is brilliant and the authors clearly explain each Principle through captivating stories of educators we can all relate. This is an excellent resource that provides teachers and teacher leaders with timely scholarly literature, opportunities for self-reflection (we must truly see in order to do), and a framework for taking action. Thank you for this important contribution to mathematics education.

Wow! In a growing sea of books focused on equity and social justice in mathematics education, this book is destined to be one of the standouts. Pamela Seda and Kyndall Brown introduce the ICUCARE framework, which is relevant to teachers and students. This framework moves beyond talking the talk of equity and social justice, and provides a pathway for teachers to walk the walk. This framework also empowers students to exercise their agency as creators and doers of mathematics. Perhaps most important, Seda and Brown confront and disempower deficit framings and stereotypes that have been imposed on many students. This book will be a valuable resource for teachers who have radical dreams of mathematics education as it should be.
