News & Updates

Thank you ATOMIM for hosting the ATMNE Conference on Oct. 12-13, 2023!

We appreciate your hospitality and enjoyed the many discussions and new ideas we took away from the incredible presentations. While we can't wait for the chance to visit you in Maine again, we'll just have to look forward to seeing you when we all meet in New Hampshire for ATMNE 2024! 

Reminder to Submit Your Proposals for VCTM's 2024 Spring Conference!

Proposals to present at the conference are due October 31, 2023.

Addressing equity in our math classrooms is more important than ever these days! Together, we can make a difference in our students' lives but it starts with us being willing to come together and share our ideas about ways to change the culture in our classrooms, schools, districts, and beyond. 

Not sure which of your great ideas to submit? Never fear, you can submit more than 1 proposal for consideration! 

Final decisions on presenters will be made before December 15, 2023.

In the words of the oft quoted Maya Angelou: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better."

Cornell Big Red Math Competition

The competition takes place Oct. 28, 2023.

While early bird registration may have passed, don't let that deter you from checking out this great opportunity with your students!

Exemplars Webinar featuring Jay McTighe
Oct. 19, 2023 @3:00 pm

Jay McTighe, the world's foremost leader in using performance tasks to improve student learning, will be joining Exemplars for a unique conversation and webinar. Jay will discuss how asking students to apply their mathematical knowledge and develop their problem-solving skills to solve performance tasks using their own strategies and prior knowledge is shown to be highly engaging and powerfully effective in developing flexible, long-term abilities with mathematics.

Sign up to join the live conversation or to receive a recording: https://home.edweb.net/webinar/math20231019/

Please join us for this unique, free, live conversation with one of education's premier contributors––and earn CE credit while you listen, ask questions and learn!
