2011 Future Leader Initial NCTM Annual Meeting Attendance Awards Recipient

Math Skills in a Changing World-21st Century

As the world we live in changes, the way we teach needs to change with it. By attending the NCTM Annual Meeting, I hope to learn new, innovative ways to teach the learners in my classroom. My experiences at the meeting will enable me to share a wealth of ideas with my fellow teachers about technology, teaching Algebra K-8, using real world problem solving effectively, and differentiation. Learning about best practices in math, working more the Common Core Standards, and how to reach students through RtI will give me a larger base of knowledge to pull from while working with the teachers in my district. I will be able to use what I learn at the conference to help my district plan curriculum effectively.
