Dear NJ Educators of Mathematics,
Happy New Year! My name is Kara Teehan and I am ecstatic to begin my term as the president of AMTNJ and serve you throughout 2025. We have a lot of exciting events for this year.
After the success of our fall 2024 split PreK-5 and grades 6-12 conferences, AMTNJ will again host two math education conferences to serve each group of teachers on November 14th for PreK-5, and November 21 for grades 6-12. We really enjoyed tailoring our conferences to meet the specific needs of different grade levels. We look forward to seeing you at Brookdale Community College again this year.
AMTNJ awards scholarships to deserving future math teachers in pre-service teacher programs. We accept donations toward the scholarship fund at every conference, and we are very proud to offer these scholarships to future math teachers.
We will be hosting a Math Intervention and Special Education Intensive at Rutgers University on April 8, 2025. Please keep an eye on our website for more information and registration details.
AMTNJ hosts a high school math contest in February, and a middle school math contest shortly after. The questions are challenging and fun, and we encourage you to visit the website to register your students!
Please also check our website to see what professional development we are offering at different points throughout the year. At AMTNJ we take great pride in helping NJ math teachers to develop meaningful pedagogical skills and content knowledge needed for teaching.
Thank you for all of the amazing work you are doing as educators of mathematics!
Sincerely,
Kara Teehan
