Pass This on to New Teachers in Your Building!

Posted on by

If there are mathematics teachers in your building who are in their first few years of teaching, make sure that they get CONNECTed to MCTM. As part of the Council’s service to our members, the MCTM CONNECT Committee offers several opportunities to help beginning teachers feel supported and grow professionally. Since there is no convenient way to get in touch with new colleagues, we rely on you, our members, to help us get connected. Please share this with your colleagues who are new.

Services that MCTM CONNECT provides include:

  • CONNECT Blog: This blog contains useful tips and information for new and beginning teachers. Check out the blog at https://mctmconnect.wordpress.com/
  • Social Media: You can find us on Facebook (facebook.com/groups/MCTMCONNECT) and on Twitter (@mctmCONNECT).
  • Mentors: Beginning teachers who are interested can be connected with an experienced math teacher for email and telephone consultation and support.
  • CONNECT Math Mixer: A few times a year, we host an informal gathering, emphasizing networking and sharing of ideas. Our next mixer is on Thursday, December 7th, 4:30–7:00pm, at Pizza Lucé (800 W. 66th Street, Richfield). RSVP: http://tinyurl.com/mathmixer
  • MCTM CONNECT Session (May 3, 2018): Held on the Thursday night before the Spring Conference, you’ll make connections, learn how the maximize the conference experience, enjoy a meal compliments of MCTM, and participate in the famous door prize and book give-away.

To ensure that all new math teachers are connected to these opportunities, encourage them to contact MCTM CONNECT. We can’t inform them of these activities if we don’t know who they are! For more information, visit mctm.org/connect.php
