M2 Fellowship
About the program
Loyola University Chicago’s Institute for Racial Justice's Men of Math (M2) Fellowship is for self-identifying male mathematics instructors to increase their capacity as culturally-informed instructional leaders. The fellowship also aims to build community between the fellows as self-identifying men who teach math to students in grades 6-12.

Curriculum and Facilitators
The curriculum for the professional learning community includes two parts. One part weaves strategies for implementing connections between math assessment strategies with culturally relevant pedagogy via race-conscious historical grounding. The second part builds relationships with Black and Latinx students through race- and gender-conscious socio-emotional learning strategies.
Fellows collaboratively learn from our esteemed and expert facilitators and share problem-solving strategies that apply across participating schools and different levels of middle and high school mathematics topics.
