Abstract

The above two stanzas from Sweet Honey in the Rock about the work and words of U.S. Civil Rights Leader, Ella Baker, always remind me that one of our jobs as educators is to get out of the way of the children so they can transform not only their world but also ours. This chapter will examine a national program in the United States, the Young People’s Project (YPP), its roots in the Civil Rights Movement, its unique use of mathematics as a pedagogy for transformative personal and civic leadership, and the serious implications of this transformative leadership model for reshaping schools and teacher preparation.
