The annual NCTM conference starts tomorrow and I’m excited to attend this year. The last time I was able to attend the conference was in 2003 in San Antonio, TX. This was also my first year teaching. I remember feeling honored to have the opportunity to attend as a first year teacher and it really set the stage for my passion for teaching mathematics. I’m really looking forward to this year’s conference, especially with the shifts associated with Common Core. I’ll be recapping some of the sessions I attend and sharing as much info as possible in my posts. A couple that I’m really looking forward to are:
“Key Words Help,” “Inquiry Won’t Work,” and Other Myths (Speakers: Alexis Dixon and Juli Dixon)
Evaluating Alignment to CCSSM: How Do Your Resources Rate? (Speakers: Beth Cocuzza and Jason Zimba)
