MTE Call for Submissions #1 The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) has two calls for articles. The Mathematics Teacher Educator Journal invites submissions to a new article format for the journal, Perspectives on Practice. Manuscripts for Perspectives on Practice will focus on an innovation in a previously-published MTE article and describe how it was interpreted, iterated, or improved in practice. Go to the journal link to see the full call for additional information. |
MTE Call for Submissions #2 The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) publication Connections is seeking brief manuscripts related to the integration of mathematics teacher education with other disciplines or areas within teacher education, preservice and inservice. Mathematics should have a key focus, and connected disciplines or areas could include STEM, dual language immersion, literacy, and special education, amongst others. Go to the journal link to see the full call for additional information. |
CANMEE Lesson Study Symposium: February 10 The California Action Network for Mathematics Excellence and Equity (CANMEE) is sponsoring a virtual lesson study symposium on February 10 from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM Pacific Time on “Focal Students: How does focusing on a few students improve learning for all students?” Including focal students in the lesson study cycle and attending to both mathematics and equity can make a difference.
