As we move through the Spring semester, this issue of AMTE Connections highlights the many ways our community continues to learn from and support one another. In his presidential message, Farshid Safi reflects on the energy of the 2026 AMTE Annual Conference in Portland, OR and invites us to continue leading as a diverse community of scholars committed to strategic collective action. In this issue, you will find updates from several AMTE committees, opportunities for professional learning, and invitations to get involved—whether through contributing to the Tech Talk blog, attending upcoming webinars, or learning about new membership initiatives. We are also excited to feature articles that explore important aspects of mathematics teacher education, from helping preservice teachers interpret mathematical symbols, to designing meaningful mathematics tasks, to learning from program graduates to strengthen elementary mathematics teacher preparation. You will also find highlights from the Portland conference and the latest episodes from the Teaching Math Teaching podcast. Thank you to all who contributed to this issue and to the many members whose work continues to strengthen our AMTE community.
