Developing Proactive Interventions that Engage – Priming Students for Success Grades 1-5
This all-day institute focuses on planning and implementing proactive interventions for students with disabilities or significant learning gaps in grades 1-5. Using evidence-based strategies such as concrete/semi-concrete/abstract (CSA), participants will learn how to help students develop a balanced understanding of mathematics concepts and skills with a focus on number and operations and algebraic thinking. A new model called Priming will be shared and participants will experience classroom-tested tasks that create robust learning opportunities and avoid the “teaching as telling” approach. Resources and instructional strategies shared will support lasting learning by building from students’ strengths and avoiding “rules that expire.”

2021-2022 AMTE Community Circles

MTEs who are the sole MTE at their institution
LGBTQ+ inclusion in mathematics teacher education
Statistics and data science teacher education
Anti-racist teaching practices in mathematics teacher education
MTEs of color
Early career MTEs, including graduate students

Call for 2022-23 Community Circles
We would love to add more Community Circles driven by AMTE members. Here are the expectations for starting a Community Circle:

You need at least three AMTE members who are interested and committed to participating in the Circle (you and two other members).
The Circle will meet virtually at least four times across the academic year (approximately September, December, February, and May). One of these meetings should occur during the time of the Annual Conference.
You need at least one person who is willing to be the Lead Contact between the Circle and the AVP for Membership. The Lead Contact: -Communicates the meeting times, dates, and meeting links for distribution to the Membership. -Ensures that attendance is taken at the meetings via a provided electronic form. -Submits a brief annual report at the conclusion of the academic year that includes an overview of the Circle’s activities.

Submit your idea on this brief form for your Community Circle by June 15, 2022. The Lead Contact should submit the information, which should only take a few minutes. We look forward to starting more AMTE Community Circles!

Temple mentioned the VEAR-MI Project as well. Be on the lookout for results from this project!

• Creating videos and having students react to it
• Youtube video with instructions to make the materials
• Students could potentially create better videos
• Youtube video where the teacher looks silly

Don Berg is the Executive Director of Deeper Learning Advocates, which is on a mission to embed the psychology of learning in K-12 policy so that policy stops undermining learning. His expertise is in the psychology of motivation. It turns out that appropriate motivation is not a nice add-on for learning, it is a fundamental pre-requisite to the kind of learning we all want our children to do. I assume no one actually wants shallow and fake learning.
