2010 Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards Recipient

Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Conference Attendance Award

My proposal is to clearly convey my interest in attending the 2010 NCTM Annual Conference in order to enhance my leadership and educational teaching skills. I hope to acquire new insights and knowledge addressing motivating students, diverse learning styles, varying student ability levels, and technology applications within the math classroom. I intend to collect multiple intervention strategies and techniques to later share within my district through workshops, in-service programs, and team meetings. I am eager to learn about the most recent advancements, ideas, products, and teaching methods that encourage student learning by linking math concepts to realistic applications that pertain to their personal lives and future careers. Math is more than simply facts, figures, and computations; it is a way of thinking, a problem solving process that encourages analytical and deductive reasoning.
