Workshop on Teacher Noticing and Productive Struggle

Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, 9:00am - 4:00pm, in Grand Rapids, MI

The workshop will explore how these two constructs can be integrated to foster responsive teaching. Teacher educators will deepen their understanding of these constructs and consider how they might inform their own teaching. Supported by a 2026 MI-AMTE minigrant, the workshop will be facilitated by Dr. Mai Bui⇗ and Dr. Nitchada Kamlue⇗, Co-Founders of Learning to Grow Lab⇗. Lunch, snacks, and parking are included.

Webinar: Three-minute coached rehearsals

Ben Freeburn, 4/24/26

Coached rehearsals provide preservice teachers opportunities to integrate their development of orientations, skills, and knowledge as they learn to enact mathematics teaching practices. In this webinar, Ben will share a particular type of coached rehearsal (three-minute-rehearsal) and other activities in a cycle of enactment and investigation intended to support preservice teachers to learn about and to learn to enact mathematics teaching practices.

Empowering Early Career STEM Teachers: Collaborative Conversations for Equitable Practice (12/4/25, 1pm)

Speaker: Gina Wilson, Knowles Teacher Initiative
Recording and resources: knowlesteachers.org/resource/30336⇗ 

Early career mathematics teachers often experience risk and uncertainty when initiating conversations about equitable teaching practices with veteran colleagues. We address this by supporting them with the Collaboration Planner—a tool that helps teachers think intentionally about who is in their professional spaces and what colleagues might offer toward instructional goals. Access the presentation linked above for details.

AMTE Position Statement

Joint Position Statement on Evidence-Based Math Instruction

The national AMTE organization recently released a joint position statement on Evidence-Based Math Instruction. The announcement from AMTE states, in part: 

This position statement emphasizes the importance of instructional practices that promote conceptual understanding, reasoning, procedural fluency, and problem-solving. It also cautions against one-size-fits-all approaches to math instruction, including the misapplication of so-called “Science of Math” models that lack broad support across the field.
