Pat Herbst offered a plenary talk titled Collaboration or change: Finding a sustainable stride.
He offered the example of GeT: A Pencil as a way in which researchers can collaborate with practitioners by providing consultation and organization support while practitioners identify their goals and mechanisms to work on improving their practice. A video of the talk is available.

The presentation was offered at the closing of the MI-AMTE Conversations Among Colleagues Conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan. MI-AMTE is an affiliate of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators and has the goal to promote all aspects of quality mathematics teacher education in Michigan.

Anthony Davis and Amanda Brown presented a talk titled “StoryCircles: A Third Space for Professional Development” which describes the potential of the StoryCircles program offered by GRIP Lab to act as a “third space” for teacher professional development.

The presentation was offered at the MI-AMTE Conversations Among Colleagues Conference that happened in Kalamazoo, Michigan. MI-AMTE is an affiliate of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators and has the goal to promote all aspects of quality mathematics teacher education in Michigan.

Come see us in Reno at Atlantis Hotel and Casino Conference Center this week and be part of our PMN-NA discussions!

Join Gil Schwarts, Patricio Herbst, Soobin Jeon, and Amanda Brown in discussing the following questions: what does it mean, for mathematics teachers, to improve a lesson? And how can improvements be accounted for in the analysis of the resulting artifacts, especially when these are multimodal?

Learn about a novel framework for multimodal analysis, and about ways to capture professional growth through comparing artifacts produced by teachers.

Presentation Title: How instructors of undergraduate mathematics courses manage tensions related to teaching courses for teachers?

Speakers: Amanda Brown, Patricio Herbst, and Mike Ion from the University of Michigan
Date: October 3, 2023
Time: 2:00 – 3:00 PM
Location: Atlantis Hotel and Casino Conference Center, Treasures B, PMENA – 2023, Reno, Nevada

Join Amanda Brown and Pat Herbst in their exploration of how undergraduate mathematics instructors navigate the complex tensions associated with teaching the geometry course for secondary teachers.Learn about the three distinct ways instructors manage these tensions and gain insights into the work of mathematics teacher educators. 

This talk is a must-attend for educators and researchers interested in the research on undergraduate mathematics education.

Dr. Amanda Brown will be sharing about a newly awarded NSF project entitled Examining an On-line, International Exchange Professional Development for High School Teachers. You can learn more at the Structured Poster Sessions happening on Thursday, June 29, from 12:45 to 2pm ET. Join us at Potomac 1 & 3. We look forward to seeing you there!
