Webinar (5/3/24)

Inquiring into Mentoring Secondary Math Prospective Teachers for Racial Justice

Presenter: Sheila Orr, Michigan State University

Join Sheila Orr from Michigan State University as she shares her learnings from her work to understand the ways in which mentor teachers in Michigan are working towards racial justice. She will share a new framework developed through this work to illuminate the ways secondary math mentor teachers work for racial justice in their mentoring practices. Join us for this interactive session exploring the work of mentoring for racial justice.

This is the third webinar featuring a 2023 MI-AMTE mini-grant award winner. These webinars are free to MI-AMTE members! Email MI-AMTE or visit our new Member Area❖ page for the Zoom link.

Webinar (12/9/22)

Anotemos Webinar

Dr. Carolyn Hetrick &/or Dr. Patricio Herbst

Anotemos is a web-based tool developed at the University of Michigan to support the social annotation of videos and images. Learn how Anotemos can enhance and complement common uses of videos and images in mathematics teacher education.

  • Mathematics teacher educators have long drawn upon video- and image-based records of practice to support teacher learning. Still, the burgeoning relevance and exigence of interactive learning technologies in practice-based teacher education has not yet included the wide-spread use of video annotation tools. With the particular needs of instructors and students in mind, the GRIP Lab at the University of Michigan developed Anotemos, a web-based tool supporting the social annotation of videos and images. In this session, participants will share their uses of video- and image-based texts and identify opportunities and challenges they encounter when using these texts. Members of the GRIP Lab will provide a demonstration of Anotemos to showcase how its features can enhance and complement common uses of videos and images in mathematics teacher education. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, discuss potential use cases, share their reactions to the tool, and—if desired—to register for an Anotemos account at no cost.n text goes here

Webinar Series (2020-21)

Core Teaching Practices Webinars

MI-AMTE Professional Development Committee

The MI-AMTE Professional Development Committee hosted a series of webinars focused on the four core teaching practices that are a focus of work in teacher preparation programs across the state in our redesigned programs. These conversations among colleagues webinars focused on how to engage PK-12 mathematics teacher candidates in enacting these teaching practices.

  • Webinars included:

    • Building respectful relationships - Tuesday, November 17, 2020

    • Leading group discussions - Monday, December 7, 2020

    • Explaining and modeling core content - Tuesday, January 26, 2021

    • Eliciting and interpreting student thinking - Tuesday, February 16, 2021

    Who are the webinars for?

    These webinars are designed for mathematics teacher educators, teacher education program directors/administrators, mentor teachers, and professional developers. The webinars are NOT designed for teacher candidates.

    What will be the structure of the webinars?

    Each webinar will include two main parts. First, a member of the MI-AMTE Professional Development Committee will provide some framing around the teaching practice, including a decomposition of the practice and sample activities for working on the practice. Second, participants will engage in conversations in breakout rooms around the teaching practice and course activities they currently use or anticipate using.

    What is the cost to participate in the webinars?

    Participation in the webinars in FREE! MI-AMTE members will have access to a video recording of the framing of the teaching practice and interactive tools to support continued conversation after the webinar. Please explore our website and consider joining our organization if you are not currently a member.
