2010 Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards Recipient

Making Connections at NCTM

It is my goal to attend the NCTM Annual Conference this year and return revitalized with new and exciting ideas. I would like the opportunity to attend so I can learn more about the role of algebra and algebraic thinking in elementary schools, as well as how to best design and utilize formative assessment. I have attended, presented and facilitated discussions at the local and state level, and I am greatly looking forward to participating in the discussions taking place at the national level.  It is the connections and relationships that I hope to establish at the NCTM Annual Conference that will provide me with the resources I need to help move our school, district and state into the next generation of teaching elementary mathematics.
