  2. NCTM and Its Affiliates…Working Together!

  3. Greetings from... NCTM and theAffiliate Services Committee

  4. Henry (Hank) Kepner President Francis (Skip) Fennell Past President James M. Rubillo Executive Director Don Balka John A. Carter Beatriz S. D’Ambrosio Margaret (Peg) Smith Marshalyn Baker Vena Long Jacqueline Goodloe Smith Christine Suurtamm Frederick L. Dillon Karen Karp Jennifer J. Salls Christine D. Thomas 2008-09 Board of Directors

  5. NCTM Update: The Big Picture NCTM Mission Statement The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics is a public voice of mathematics education, providing vision, leadership, and professional development to support teachers in ensuring equitable mathematics learning of the highest quality for all students.

  6. NCTM Update: The Big Picture NCTM Strategic Directions 2008-2009 • Curriculum • Equity • Linking Research and Practice • Professional Growth and Leadership Development • Advocacy

  7. Student E-Membership • For full-time students enrolled in an accredited college or university; proof of eligibility is required • $39 per year includes an online subscription to one NCTM journal of choice. Special features of Student Membership include: • 25 journal article downloads • Free admission to NCTM regional conferences • Exclusive scholarship opportunities • Plus “Individual Membership Benefits”

  8. New & Improved Affiliate Grants • The Mathematics Education Trust (MET), based on the recommendations of the ASC approved two new Affiliate grants and increased the amount of the Kenneth B. Cummins Grant. • New! Student Affiliate Grant (up to $1,500) • New! Associate Affiliate Grant (up to $2,000) • Increased support for a Partner Affiliate! Kenneth B. Cummins Grant (up to $3,000)

  9. Grant(s) to Affiliates • Grant deadline: June 1, 2008 • Look for application information each year in January, and for postings on the Web site.

  10. Equity • Equity Position Statement • Equity Summit • Iris Carl Annual Equity Address • Equity and Publications • Online issue of JRME • TCM focus issue • Equity FOY for 2008-09 • Equity theme of 2009 Annual Conference and Exposition • And more!!!

  11. Opening Discussion What do you perceive to be the biggest challenges related to equity in mathematics education?

  12. NAEP 2007 - Grade 4

  13. NCTM Position Paper - Equity HIGHLIGHTS • Excellence in mathematics education rests on equity—high expectations, respect, understanding, and strong support for all students. • Policies, practices, attitudes, and beliefs related to mathematics teaching and learning must be assessedcontinually to ensure that all students have equal access to the resources with the greatest potential to promote learning. • A culture of equity maximizes the learning potential of all students.

  14. NCSM and the PRIME Leadership Framework What is STAGE 1 Leadership?… And how do improve?

  15. Big Question #1 – What can I do in the mathematics classroom to ensure… …that I implement the intended curriculum with needed intervention and make certain that everystudent is successful?

  16. Big Question #2 – What can I do in the mathematics classroom to ensure… • …that I provide each student with access to relevant, rigorous, and meaningful mathematics experiences?

  17. Let’s take a look at… 3x + 2 = 11 When do students first experience the mathematics needed to find the value of x?

  18. Did you Try? • I’m thinking of number… • Cups and Counters or Algebra Tiles • Representations like Table Methods or “Hoops and Arrows” • Algebraic Algorithms • Graphing Calculator

  19. Cups and Counters

  20. Table Method

  21. Hoops and Arrows Multiply by 3 Add 2 X = 3 =11 Divide by 3 Subtract 2

  22. Summary of Differentiation Before you begin to teach a new concept, you have to put a great deal of thought into your audience and their needs. “Know your stuff, know who you are stuffing, and stuff them elegantly.”

  23. In Conclusion… • Equity in the Mathematics Classroom is Critical • Critical thinkers operating outside the box, using the latest technology to identify the needs of students and to capture the interest of the 21st century learner, will win this challenge. • Resist the path of least resistance. Expect to work hard. Expect to fail as well as to succeed. • Celebrate radically.

  24. Remember the Daffodil Principle • 50,000 bulbs, • one at a time, • by one woman, • 2 hands, 2 feet, • and very little brain. • Began in 1958
