Members of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE) Advocacy Committee presented “Navigating Policies Around Mathematics Teacher Preparation: Conversations with the AMTE Advocacy Committee” on October 18. The talk was part of the monthly MTEP NIC-Cast webinar series.
AMTE Advocacy Committee members Nina Bailey, Betsy Berry, Christopher Jett, Alexa Lee-Hassan, Kimberly Morrow-Leong, Patrice Waller and Kyle Whipple provided a brief overview of staying informed about mathematics teacher educator policies, effective communication in mathematics teacher preparation, and the importance of professional relationships. The committee then led open discussions about four key topics in mathematics teacher education: getting started as an advocate, staying informed about issues, developing professional relationships and networks, and effective communication with partners, legislators and other policy makers.
