The Affiliate Connections Committee has been working on setting their annual goals based on the information we received at the annual 2023 AMTE Conference. Your state affiliate may have already been contacted by their regional representative about our Goodwill Tour. The Goodwill Tour is an effort to reach out to state affiliates to see if they can be of service in some way or attend one of your meetings virtually. They will also be requesting some information for the resources we are putting together such as which affiliates have journals or newsletters they share with their members, what organizations do they partner with for various issues or events, and about conferences.
If you have questions, please reach out to your regional representative or myself, Pam Bailey, prbailey@marybaldwin.edu.
AMTE-NC (North Carolina)
The North Carolina affiliate spent time this academic year discussing, writing, and collaborating on science of math counterclaim documents. The 2-page documents overview the claims from the science of math group and offer research-based alternatives aligned with NCTM and AMTE's visions for mathematics instruction. They provide resources to extend the conversation about those claims. Please contact AMTE-NC President or Past-President for more information: Katie Baker, kbaker17@elon.edu, or Cyndi Edgington, cpedging@ncsu.edu.

NJAMTE (New Jersey)
On Friday, June 2nd we hosted our 14th Annual Conference of the New Jersey Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (NJAMTE) at The College of New Jersey. The theme of the conference was "Catalyzing Change in Math Teacher Education in a Post-Pandemic Era." We had a variety of sessions about catalyzing change such as finding common ground between math and special educators, promoting neurodiversity as an asset, and adopting an ethnomodeling approach to teaching. Our keynote speaker, Eric Milou from Rowan University, talked about lessons learned from the pandemic. We also had a panel discussion on teacher shortage with various participating stakeholders.
In the picture below we have some of our speakers. Mathematics Education PhD student Christa Mawn (top left) and Drs. Victoria Bonaccorso and Steven Greenstein from Montclair State University (top right). The participants of the panel (bottom, in order from right): Scott Rocco, Superintendent of Hamilton Township School District; Frank Forte, Faculty from Raritan Valley Community College; Jeanne M. DelColle, Executive Director for the Center for Future Educators at TCNJ; Joshua Frye, Faculty from County College of Morris.
