This webinar will look at the current status of novice mathematics teachers (those in their first five years of teaching) in the United States.  Using data from the 2018 NSSME+, findings about novice mathematics teachers’ characteristics, their preparation for teaching mathematics and ongoing learning opportunities, and the nature of the mathematics instruction they provide will be shared.  Participants will have an opportunity to consider these findings in relation to AMTE’s Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics and reflect on implications for mathematics teacher education.
