Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators  
 
 
 
RMAMTE

Are you a mathematics teacher educator?
Do you often feel isolated from other mathematics teacher educators?
Do you often find yourself wondering what textbooks, activities, technology, or motivational strategies other mathematics teacher educators are using?
Do you ever wish you could bounce ideas off of or share your frustrations with other mathematics teacher educators?
Or maybe you’d just like to meet other mathematics teacher educators in Colorado, Wyoming and beyond…
Then the RMAMTE is perfect for you!  And the RMAMTE needs you!
The purposes of the RMAMTE are to:

  • Promote the improvement of mathematics teacher education in the Rocky Mountain region.
  • Facilitate communication among mathematics teacher educators at the elementary, secondary, community college, college, and university levels from different educational administrative units, such as departments of mathematics, departments of education, and school districts.
  • Disseminate information about mathematics education issues in the Rocky Mountain region and serve as a clearing house for ideas and resources in teacher education in mathematics.
  • Encourage research related to mathematics teacher education.
  • Encourage and organize programs and meetings focusing on issues related to the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers.
  • Coordinate activities and work collaboratively with other associations and organizations concerned with the preparation and professional development of mathematics teachers (such as CCTM and the state office of education).
  • Work cooperatively with state and national certification and testing agencies to enhance the mathematical, pedagogical, and clinical preparation of prospective teachers of mathematics at all levels (kindergarten through grade sixteen) with respect to criteria for credentialing and licensing of teachers.

The RMAMTE plans to meet at annual conferences of the Colorado Council of Teachers of Mathematics and annual meetings of the Rocky Mountain section of the Mathematical Association of America.  We also encourage our members to attend the annual conference of the national AMTE.

Joining the AMTE is affordable and easy!  For just $5 per year, you can enjoy the benefits of networking with dozens of other mathematics teacher educators in Colorado and neighboring states.
