| Summary: | As preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) examine their personal readiness, instructional practices, and their agency in enacting those practices, a ubiquitous question is "What can I do?" to support all students in learning mathematics amidst social, political and institutional dynamics present in today's classrooms. This paper explores how PSTs are developing understandings of self as mathematics teacher and of teaching through participation in a seminar designed to support critical examination of themselves as mathematics teachers, and if and how this self-examination is consequential for their understandings of teaching, particularly as within complex realities of schooling and attention to equity and access.
