Cancellation of St. Louis Meeting

October 9, 2020

The NCTM Board of Directors has decided not to hold the in-person 2021 NCTM Annual Meeting & Exposition in St. Louis, April 21-24, 2021.  This decision was made with consideration for the health and well-being of attendees and taking into account the uncertainty in the current environment, the demands currently being placed on teachers, and the policy restrictions and health risks associated with large gatherings.

The NCTM Board, volunteers, and staff are working on next steps and we will keep you informed as we determine the direction for an alternative setting that will provide the full range of program content, learning opportunities, and collaboration typical of major NCTM events. 


Schedule

Day-by-Day Schedule for the St. Louis Annual Meeting & Exposition will be available soon. Please check back for updates.

St. Louis Annual Meeting & Exposition Pre-Conference Workshops

St. Louis Annual Meeting & Exposition Conference Strands

Systemic Change
In order to create positive, systemic change, classroom teachers, instructional coaches, mathematics specialists, administrators, and other system level stakeholders must support and challenge one another to grow professionally. Sessions in this strand will explore ways to identify and leverage individual strengths within diverse communities of educators and empower one another to create positive systemic change.

Agency, Identity, and Access
To build student agency and foster student mathematics identity, NCTM advocates empowering each and every student to be an author of mathematics through conceptual understanding. Effective systems and structures must also be in place to ensure access to high-quality mathematics learning opportunities. Sessions in this strand include, but are not limited to, discussing equitable classroom norms and routines; creating spaces where students are socially and emotionally engaged in mathematics; strategies for cultivating inclusive mathematics classrooms.

Professionalism and Advocacy
Who we are as professionals evolve throughout our careers. Along the journey as a teacher, learner, and advocate for mathematics education, we often turn to our colleagues for professional support, and they turn to us. Sessions in this strand will feature opportunities to learn about collaborative learning experiences, mentoring, coaching, social media, and how to become an effective advocate for our profession and our students with all stakeholders as we continue to evolve.

Mathematics Teaching and Learning
NCTM describes mathematics teaching as a complex process that requires teachers to deeply understand mathematics content, know how concepts develop across students’ school experience, and implement instructional practices that support learning for each and every student (NCTM, 2014). Sessions in this strand will support teachers in building mathematical knowledge for teaching and implementing the eight research-based teaching practices outlined in the Teaching and Learning Principle from Principles to Actions.
