Memebership Brochure

By Fall we will have a membership brochure available to you as you help other mathematics teacher educators from your area to join AMTE. Membership benefits include the special reports that are distributed to our membership. You received two this year. The availability of our listserv to keep you networked with your colleagues, a job placement service on our web site, and reduced registration fees at our own conference are just a few of the benefits of membership. A strong AMTE means a strong voice for the role of mathematics teacher educators in mathematics education reform.

Meetings at NCTM?

As AMTE grows in membership and in our role in the reform movement, there need to be opportunities for the membership to meet to discuss relevant ideas. Regional meetings afford one such opportunity. It has been proposed that there be an AMTE meeting at all NCTM regional meetings so that we can meet on a local level. If you are will to host such a meeting, contact Robert Wolffe at rjwolffe@bradley.bradley.edu.

Work with other Associations

Joan Ferrini-Mundy and Hank Kepner, representing AMTE, will be meeting with the Executive Director of the Association of Teacher Educators (ATE) to determine how we can collaborate on activities that would benefit both of our organizations.

Joan also will be AMTE's representative at a meeting of association presidents planning joint action on mathematics teacher education.
