Webinar (12/4/2025)

Webinar - Empowering STEM Teachers

Empowering Early Career STEM Teachers: Collaborative Conversations for Equitable Practice (12/4/25, 1pm)

Speaker: Gina Wilson, Knowles Teacher Initiative

**This webinar was cancelled. If you were looking forward to the webinar, you can check out this presentation instead! 
https://knowlesteachers.org/resource/30336⇗ 

Early career mathematics teachers often experience risk and uncertainty when initiating conversations about equitable teaching practices with veteran colleagues. We address this by supporting them with the Collaboration Planner—a tool that helps teachers think intentionally about who is in their professional spaces and what colleagues might offer toward instructional goals. The planner helps teachers identify factors within school systems that impact collaborative relationships.

This webinar includes an overview of the tool, hands-on practice, and collaborative work time for math teacher educators to apply the tool in their contexts.

AMTE Position Statement

The national AMTE organization recently released a joint position statement on Evidence-Based Math Instruction. The announcement from AMTE states, in part: 

This position statement emphasizes the importance of instructional practices that promote conceptual understanding, reasoning, procedural fluency, and problem-solving. It also cautions against one-size-fits-all approaches to math instruction, including the misapplication of so-called “Science of Math” models that lack broad support across the field.
