NORMAN, OKLA. - Richard Velasco, an assistant professor of mathematics education in the Department of Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum, is one of 10 recipients of an Equity in Math Education Research Grant from the National Academy of Education. These grants fund pioneering projects designed to revolutionize equitable and ambitious mathematical learning experiences for K-12 students in traditionally underserved and historically marginalized communities.
"I'm originally from Guam but moved to the United States eight years ago," Velasco said. "I was a secondary mathematics teacher there for about nine years, and I'm still very connected to the Micronesian community."
