History of Judith Jacobs Lecture
The Judith Jacobs Lecture was established in 2003 to honor Dr. Judith E. Jacobs, one of the founding members of AMTE. Dr. Jacobs was instrumental in developing AMTE into a national organization and in the development of the AMTE conference with its current structure and emphasis on interaction. Judith Jacobs is an active member who served as the treasurer, the president, and as the first executive director. The Judith Jacobs Lecture was established after her tenure as executive director.
Dr. Jacobs gave the first lecture where she described what it means to be a mathematics teacher educator and outlined how being a mathematics teacher educator is different from being a mathematics teacher, a career professional developer, or a researcher in mathematics education research. She challenged us to recognize our roles as mathematics teacher educators and through this organization, an outlet was created to share and learn from each other.
