Candidate for AMTE Secretary
Kathleen Lynch-Davis

Appalachian State University

Kathleen Lynch-Davis, a former middle grades mathematics teacher, is currently an assistant professor at Appalachian State University. Her teaching responsibilities include mathematics methods courses for elementary and middle grades preservice teachers as well as graduate level mathematics education courses for masters students. In addition, Kathleen works with inservice elementary and middle grades mathematics teachers. Kathleen co-edited AMTE’s 3^rd monograph, The Work of Mathematics Teacher Educators: Continuing the Conversation and is currently the editor of the Technology Tips column in NCTM’s journal, Mathematics Teacher. Her current research interests center on preservice elementary teachers’ understanding of geometry and preservice elementary teachers’ perceptions of teaching mathematics to diverse learners.

AMTE has provided its membership a venue to focus specifically on mathematics teacher education, by providing a place to discuss issues, practices and share ideas. As secretary of AMTE, not only will I be responsible for providing accurate records of meetings, I will also assist AMTE and its membership in continuing its current efforts and achieving the goals set forth by the organization.
