Program Abstract: The Culturally Sustaining Mathematics Education Project (CMP) was created to support K-12 preservice teachers and mathematics majors. The purpose is to redesign the mathematics for Teachers courses for Elementary and Middle-level majors to establish culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSP). This allows students to strengthen their mathematical proficiencies and develop positive and productive mathematics identities. Additionally, Secondary Math Education and Mathematics majors serve as peer tutors to expose them to teaching practices emphasizing the strands of proficiency that may not addressed in their math content courses. Simultaneously, peer tutors and learners develop mathematical proficiencies and identities through a culturally sustaining lens.
