On Wednesday, November 20 from 3-6, WI-AMTE will be hosting on-line discussion entitled “From Novice to Expert: Strengthening the Pathway to Teaching in Wisconsin.” Discussion will focus specifically on how to attract more students to the teacher pipeline, how to support and retain those teacher candidates during their student teaching and first years of service, and how to develop them into expert teachers and future mentors and coaches. All participants will work together to share and discuss what we can do, both individually and collectively to meet those goals with a focus on creating working groups to continue this work through the upcoming year and years in order to strengthen mathematics teacher education in Wisconsin.

If you are interested in attending, please go to: Registration

Our final dynamic discussion of the academic year will be on Tuesday, May 21st from 7 to 8 PM. During this discussion, we will celebrate a productive year by having participants share their favorite task, math problem, lesson they have used during the course of year. We will talk about how it promoted student learning, how it might be used in different contexts, and how it might be modified/adjusted for future use. We hope you can join us at: https://uwmsoe.zoom.us/j/477347832
