How to Increase the Likelihood Your Proposal is Accepted


The Program Committee will review hundreds of proposals to build a balanced program that meets the various needs of teachers of mathematics.

The theme, Common Core Mathematics: Launching the Transformation, expects that we as a conference provide for teachers some answers to the following questions:

•  What does Common Core Mathematics look like in the classroom?
     A speaker might provide:
     - Video examples that demonstrate how the Standards for Mathematical Practice are incorporated in the classroom
     - Sample lessons that imbed the Standards for Mathematical Practice with the presenter illustrating/demonstrating ways to implement
     - Exemplars showing or explaining how deep understanding of content standards is developed

•  How do I adjust or enhance my teaching?
    A speaker might address:
     - Teachers need a repertoire of teaching strategies that align with the mathematical practices in the CCSS
     - Teachers need strategies that go beyond gimmicks and mnemonics and deepen students' understanding of the Big Ideas.
     - Teachers need experience with technology tools to enhance student understanding
     - Teachers need awareness of the learning needs of ALL students and strategies to address those needs
     - Teachers need content knowledge to deepen their own understanding of CCSS mathematics that is new or unfamiliar.
     
•  Where do I find resources to transform learning in the classroom?
     A speaker might show, demonstrate, provide or engage participants:
     - Print, internet, video, and people resources.
     - Technology to support classroom instruction and student understanding
     - Web sites and networks for sharing resources
