Dr. Jodie Hunter

Dr Jodie Hunter is currently a Professor at Massey University. She is passionate about developing culturally responsive teaching for Pacific students in mathematics classrooms and co-leads a professional learning and development research project entitled “Developing Mathematical Inquiry Communities”. This work involves working closely with schools and in classrooms with teachers to support a shift in pedagogical practices to better serve the diverse learners that comprise classrooms.

This aligns with her professional and research interests in funds of knowledge, culturally responsive teaching and equity focused education. She is also interested in developing early algebraic reasoning in primary school classrooms and investigating student perspectives in a range of contexts.
