Common Core State Standards in Mathematics

 

As many states transition to the new Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSS-M), AMTE recognizes how important these new standards are to the work of mathematics teacher educators.

The AMTE CCSS-M Task Force is compiling information, resources, and links to help you become more familiar with the CCSS-M and better prepared to address these standards in our work with pre-service teachers and in professional development with in-service teachers at all grade levels.

Connections

Timely, important updates for mathematics teacher educators.

The 2024-2025 school year is under way, and we are excited to share so many opportunities! In this issue of Connections, we share our second set in a series of articles around Artificial Intelligence in Mathematics Teacher Education. We also share calls to write for the Mathematics Teacher Educator, join the Equity Book Club, and apply to the STaR program. And don't forget the annual conference is coming in February, and now is the time to start planning your attendance. Enjoy a busy but fulfilling month of September!
