Beginning Math Teachers – CONNECT in Duluth

Posted on by

Are you a beginning Math teacher? If so, read on . . . .

If not, refer this article to someone in your school who is in their first three years of teaching.

 MCTM CONNECT is a resource provided by MCTM to make sure beginning teachers feel supported and connected to the profession. Our biggest event is the CONNECT Session which is held from 7:00-9:00 PM this year on Thursday, April 28, the evening before the MCTM Spring Conference in Duluth, at the DECC. Sponsored by the CONNECT Committee and the MinnMATYC Mentoring program, this event offers an orientation designed to maximize the conference experience during the next two days as well as an opportunity to network with other teachers with similar interests and to meet leaders in Mathematics education. In addition to teaching ideas participants are eligible for door prizes and can come away with free learning materials from the famous “Book Giveaway”. There is no charge for this event, that’s right – free food courtesy of MCTM! Reservations are not necessary but are greatly appreciated, especially if several people from a school or college are coming. If you know you’re coming. Please contact Betty Johnston at elizabet.johnston@comcast.net

Recent event: About 75 beginning teachers attended the MCTM CONNECT reception at the Market Barbeque in Minneapolis during the NCTM Regional conference in November. Co-Sponsored by MCTM and ExploreLearning, guests enjoyed great food and drink, no long speeches and much networking and sharing, which is what CONNECT tries to support.
