The New Jersey Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators  (NJAMTE)

The New Jersey Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, NJAMTE,  held their fifteenth annual conference on Friday, June 7, 2024 at The College of New Jersey. The theme of the conference was "Supporting Mathematics Teachers to Navigate the Evolving Socio-Cultural, Political, and Technological Landscape".  Our keynote speaker, Dr. Farshid Safi of the University of Central Florida, spoke on De-Siloing Teacher Education:  Focusing on Equitable Teaching Practices. We had presenters who spoke on using AI to teach math equitably and how to use it to transform mathematics teaching.  Others spoke on the relevance of hands-on technologies, interventions to improve teaching confidence in pre-service elementary teachers, a mathematics textbook collaboration with LaTex, and about findings from an NSF online practice suite project for pre-service secondary teachers.  Below are photos of some of our presenters.

Pennsylvania Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (PAMTE)

PAMTE held its 18th Annual Symposium May 15th and 16th, 2024 at Shippensburg University. The first plenary speaker, Dr. Angela Barlow of the University of South Alabama, spoke to best practices for teaching mathematics and how these practices might be useful for rethinking how we prepare teachers of mathematics. Plenary speakers on the second conference day were Dr. Fran Arbaugh (Penn State University), Dr. Cynthia Taylor (Millersville University), and Dr. Janet White (Millersville University). As past presidents of AMTE/PAMTE, they engaged in conversations around three important topics in mathematics teacher education: Linking Research and Practice, the Student Teaching Experience, and Mathematics Teacher Recruitment.

The PAMTE Symposium Committee is currently planning the 2025 conference (May 21st and 22nd , 2025). Featured speakers next spring include AMTE President-Elect, Dr. Farshid Safi, and Dr. Lynsey Gibbons from the University of Delaware. PAMTE is looking forward to this upcoming opportunity for collaboration and networking. Any questions about the symposium can be sent to hervin@commonwealthu.edu.
