Sandra Crespo is a Professor of Mathematics Education and Associate Chairperson for Graduate Education in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University’s College of Education. She currently serves as Editor of the Mathematics Teacher Educator journal, a joint publication of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) and the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE). Her research focuses on anti-oppressive mathematics education, addressing systemic inequities through theoretical tools such as status generalization theory and cultural narratives. Crespo emphasizes creating inclusive learning environments that challenge discourses of failure and marginalization in mathematics.
She holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics Education from the University of British Columbia. Her work bridges theory and practice, with an emphasis on preparing teachers to foster equitable classroom interactions and leverage students’ diverse mathematical strengths. Key interests include prospective teacher education, collaboration in mathematics classrooms, and the role of language in mathematical reasoning.
Crespo’s scholarship frequently explores strategies for equitable participation, culturally responsive teaching, and the use of multimedia in mathematics learning. Her recent publications highlight themes like the editorial practices of mathematics education journals, the importance of collaborative problem-posing, and the need for transformative research that prioritizes marginalized voices. She has contributed to initiatives such as Complex Instruction in teacher preparation programs and digital tools for noticing students’ mathematical competencies.
Her awards and honors are not explicitly listed, but her leadership roles and prolific publications underscore her significant contributions to the field. Crespo actively engages in mentoring doctoral students and advancing research infrastructure through collaborative projects and editorial work.
