Keynote Session: Supporting mathematics teacher learning through co-inquiry
Brette Garner, Assistant Professor of Mathematics Education, University of Denver

Introduction and MI-AMTE President's welcome: Stephanie Casey, Eastern Michigan University

Keynote: Many educators advocate for a learner-centered approach to K-12 education -- but we don’t always carry that into professional development or teacher education. In this talk, Brette will discuss the importance of taking a learner-centered, co-inquiry approach to supporting teacher learning. In her research projects, Brette begins coaching cycles with teachers’ questions in mind, emphasizing the assets they bring to the table.

Embedding Courses within an Elementary School: Supporting Preservice Teacher Development through Mediated Field Experiences

Esther Billings, Grand Valley State University
John Golden, Grand Valley State University

We provide an overview of core practice-based learning and mediated field experiences (MFEs), share our school-partnership logistics, MFE and embedded-course design, and describe ways MFEs provide preservice teachers opportunities to integrate mathematical knowledge for teaching and develop/enact core practices.

Tasks that support covariational reasoning

Alicia Gonzales, Michigan Technological University

Non-constant covariation is an important concept in developing trigonometric functions. We will explore the extent to which typical textbooks take this up. We will present our ideas of learning about non-constant covariation with students by sharing a sequence of tasks.

(12:40-1:05) Equity Issues with Grades and What You Can Do

Clark Wells, Grand Valley State University

Evidence shows essentially no correlation between grades and future success and suggests that grades create a dis-incentive for learning and incentives for several negative behaviors, including "cheating". This talk will give ideas for what you can do about it.

Coaching vs. evaluation: Resolving the tension between support functions during PST supervision

Jon Hasenbank, Grand Valley State University

Coaching and Evaluation are opposing support functions, yet field supervisors may serve both roles. Coaching rests on the mentee sharing challenges openly; being evaluated can make it risky to do so. We will explore ways to minimize that tension.
