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.
