2024 Annual AMTE Conference

Twenty-Eighth Annual Conference of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

2024 AMTE Annual Conference, Orlando, FL, February 8-10, 2024

Rosen Centre Hotel

The Annual AMTE Conference provides inclusive opportunities for a diverse community of mathematics educators to share current research and practice findings.

AMTE recognizes that this year’s conference location may cause concern for some members (see Spring 2023 Connections article). In recent years, Florida has passed legislation that is dehumanizing and places those in multiple marginalized communities at risk. This includes anti-trans legislation (e.g. CS/SB 1674 & CS/SB 1580) and legislation restricting education related to gender identity and sexual orientation (e.g. HB 1557.) Additionally, a number of anti-black and anti-immigrant bills have been introduced or recently passed. There are ongoing efforts to erase and rewrite Black history, ban books, and shape education in harmful ways. The ACLU Florida provides a comprehensive list that details the multiple ways the legislation is attacking communities and their civil rights.

In light of the climate in Florida, we want to share with our membership the travel advisory released by the NAACP. Other organizations, including the Florida Immigrant CoalitionLeague of United Latin American Citizens, and Equality Florida have also issued travel warnings.

AMTE is committed to providing a safe space for conference attendees. For those unable to attend, we are also planning to provide recordings or streaming of plenary sessions, as well as a free way for AMTE members to asynchronously view individual session materials (e.g., short videos and handouts) and interact with speakers. Those who cannot travel to the conference will still have their name included on the program to give them credit for their work, and we are exploring ways to allow them to participate in their session remotely. More details will be announced soon.

      Featured Sessions

      Opening Session (Thursday, February 8, 8:30-10:00 am) 
      Critical Conversations: AMTE Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics In Social and Political Contexts

      Presenters:

      Jenny Bay Williams
      Univ of Louisville

      Liza Bondurant
      Mississippi State Univ
      Yvonne Lai
      Univ of Nebraska-Lincoln
      Richard Velasco

      Eva Thanheiser
      Portland State Univ

      (Moderator)

      Description:

      Much has happened in the world and in mathematics education since the 2017 release of the Standards for Preparing Teachers of Mathematics. How do we (and how might we) leverage these standards to advocate for teachers, teacher educators, practices, programs, and policies at local, state, and national levels?  What is missing in these standards that could help us better prepare teachers? How do or how should social and political issues impact what we do in mathematics teacher education? In this session, panelists will address these questions and engage the audience in conversations intended to promote critical consciousness with ourselves and with the teachers of mathematics that we prepare.

      Judith Jacobs Lecture (Friday, February 9, 5:15-6:45 pm)

      Navigating Oz: My Journey with Three Essential Companions

      Description:

      For many, the road to a career as a mathematics teacher educator is clearly paved and the journey is exciting and welcoming. For others, the path is rocky and the journey is confusing, scary, and lonely. Using The Wiz and the Wizard of Oz as metaphors, I share how my journey began with a commitment to equity in mathematics, the triumphs and challenges along the way, and the importance of traveling with my three companions. I end the presentation with paths the field must travel to unveil racism in our current educational landscape and how intellect, compassion, and courage will be necessary to reimagine a more humanizing and just mathematics education for every student, preservice teacher, classroom teacher, mathematics educator, and researcher.
