Passionate about math instruction that serves all learners– including students from historically marginalized communities
Dr. Darling loves teaching math and helping teachers facilitate inclusive, inquiry-based math learning that builds on students’ lived experiences. She is a Full Professor at Santa Rosa Junior College where she teaches math, teacher education courses, and Playing with Mindfulness and Math. She is a Lecturer of social justice Precalculus and Calculus 1 at UC Berkeley – merging her passion for math education with her drive for social change. While earning her PhD from Stanford in Math Ed, she won a Fulbright for documenting innovative approaches to doing community math in a Mayan village and working with local teachers to pilot active math tasks that build on students’ funds of math knowledge.
Teachin’ It! Breakout Moves that Break Down Barriers for Community College Students guides teachers to facilitate inclusive and inquiry-based group learning to reach and teach students from groups who have been historically left out of STEM careers. Empathy Unchained™ Heal Your Trauma, Uplift the World advocates healing past hurts, exploring biases, and following one’s higher purpose to make our communities more just and compassionate. The Empathy Unchained™ DEIA Conversation Deck, helps nurture conversations that create a culture of belonging in classrooms and campuses. Felicia weaves her yoga, social justice, and mindfulness expertise into her math and teacher education courses to reduce math anxiety and create a more inclusive and empathy-informed classroom community. You might laugh while reading her books, since she illustrates them with her untamed Professor Funnies©. Her groundbreaking work has been spotlighted by prominent platforms including Inside Higher Ed, Education Week, WAMC Northeast Public Radio, and Chronicle of Higher Education.
Felicia was Faculty Advisor of the SRJC FLIP Club. This is a student club for First-Generation-College, Low-Income Students. She is available to lead mindfulness, Hour of Bliss, or Empathy Circles for any student Group or Club
