California Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators

CAMTE

CAMTE is delighted to announce that its new website is now a reality

(http://camte.org/) thanks to the tireless work of Carol Fry Bohlin’s committee. Visitors

to the site are currently greeted by the smiles of CAMTE’s three newly-elected officers:

Joanne Rossi Becker (President-elect), Lisa Sandberg (Secretary), and Carl Lager

(Member-at-Large).

CAMTE takes great pride in the work of Mark Ellis and the large group of

CAMTE members who handled the local arrangements for the recent AMTE Conference

in Irvine, CA. The AMTE annual conference continues to grow in popularity as

indicated by the record number of participants (approximately 500) who attended this

year.

Thanks to a grant from Texas Instruments and some very frugal planning,

CAMTE was able to provide a reception at the CMC-South Conference in Palm Springs

in November, a lunch for those who attended CAMTE's annual business meeting at the

CMC-North Conference in Pacific Grove (Asilomar Conference Grounds) in December,

and a Board retreat in Monterey prior to the Asilomar conference. The CAMTE Board is

continuing its monthly meetings via conference call that it began last year.

CAMTE’s effort to provide reliable information to those who make policy

decisions impacting mathematics teacher educators is growing. The panel that the CCTC

(California’s credentialing agency) established last year to make recommendations for

revising the state's mathematics credentialing process for grades K-8 plans to have its

proposal ready for commission approval by August. It will include revised standards for

mathematics specialists and requirements to include more mathematics methods courses

in the preparation of elementary school teachers. CAMTE members Nadine Bezuk and

Kathy Morris serve on this panel and along with Joanne Rossi Becker link the work of

this panel with the related work of the AMTE Elementary Mathematics Specialists Task

Force.

The CCTC recently established an advisory panel to make recommendations for

reforming the process for subject matter preparation programs in all content areas to be

approved as waiver programs. The number of approved waiver programs in the state has

steadily declined in recent years due to the arduous process involved, and the

Commission wishes to reverse that trend. In California, preservice teachers who

complete approved waiver programs are not required to take the state’s exam (CSET) to

verify competence in their content area. CAMTE President Mike Lutz and CAMTE

member Carol Curtis will serve on that panel.

CAMTE will be one of the professional organizations supporting a conference in

September based on the QUASAR research. The primary goal of the conference is to

help teachers combat the often perceived pressure to reduce mathematics teaching solely

to memorization and drill. The sessions will provide teachers with ways to deal with the

teach-for-the-test environment that exists in today’s high-stakes-testing culture and

therefore be able to teach in ways that will increase student learning. The hosts are

delighted that the two keynote speakers will be Ed Silver and Carl Lager. More

information, links to register, and links to download speaker proposals are available at

http://www.todos-math.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=101904

CAMTE sees 2010 as another exciting year!

Palm Springs – 2 days of sessions, mixed attendance Asilomar – 1 day of sessions CAMTE Strands – how can we make it clearer for people who present they can be in CAMTE strand? Suggestions - CAMTE works with CMC to review Teacher Education submissions for those who will present in CAMTE room. Issues: Some presenters feel like they will not be well attended in a CAMTE strand (pre-service vs. teacher leader). Does “CAMTE Strand” preclude attendance? CMC now makes the decision about who will be in CAMTE strands. Can we regain control? Consider buying conference mailing list to advertise CAMTE Strand

Mike will dialogue with

CMC regarding this

issue New Chair – Mike Lutz What kind of sessions do we want that CAMTE members will attend? Should our sessions focus on goals we set for the year? Mike will begin contacts for beginning this process

themselves. III. Budget Report – Shelley Kriegler

a. Thank Theresa for all of her work b. We have less money this year than last because we have fewer members and also

how CMC registrations work for those who join CAMTE that way. Also, the lapse of memberships in the switch of treasurers. There is no expense for website as Carol has found ways to cover it.

c. Income is less than expenses, but we have done several promotional activities that have cost money.

d. We had a discussion as to whether or not the promotional budget should be increased

IV. President’s Report a. Joanne listed the topics she plans to announce at tomorrow’s business meeting

and asked if there were other suggestions b. She said she did not get much of a response to her newsletter c. She did get a good response regarding the poll of the details regarding the FLM d. Should we do a regular newsletter e. 17 are registered for tomorrow’s luncheon work session f. Did the election ballots arrive late? We should ask about that at tomorrow’s

business meeting. g. Did the post-it note pads get in all of the election ballot envelopes?

V. Committee Reports a. Membership - Shelley

i. CAMTE Advocates program seems to be a highly successful activity ii. Distributed current membership list – Data from CMC will not be received

for another month or so. 1. Members only know membership has lapsed if someone contacts

them. We need to be find a way to be more diligent in keeping up with this.

iii. Distributed Proposed CAMTE Membership Activity Timeline

2

1. A lengthy discussion occurred regarding the September 30 date as last day to join to be eligible to vote in the election and waiting until the shortcomings of waiting until December to notify non-renewers. Decided to notify in October/November instead. Shelley will edit the timeline based on the discussion and distribute it to the board members.

2. It was decided that it was about time to form a committee to study our constitution to see if there are changes that we might wish to make.

b. Communications and Websites – Carol Fry Bohlin i. Online membership with credit card option

ii. Carol has sent lots of updates to Brian and may wait until tomorrow morning to make them live

iii. Officers and Home Page are updated iv. Carol is receiving many requests from groups who want to put a link to

our website on theirs and have us put theirs on ours. Currently, we have no policy for this. We had discussion about whether or not CAMTE should sell such links (or ads) on the website. One suggestion that we might want to require someone to be a member as a pre-condition for having a link.

v. We had discussion regarding the website such as should there be less about an article on the home page and thus put more links on the home page to send to articles.

c. Program – Mike i. Should we go back to having a session at both Asilomar and Palm

Springs? There was a lot of discussion regarding this question. d. Advocacy

i. Relationship to CCTC – Mike – We continue to increase our interaction with the CTC commissioners and staff.

ii. Results of Survey of CAMTE Members Regarding Subject-Matter Preparation Progrmas for the Foundational-Level Mathematics Credential (FLM) and the FLM’s Teaching Authorization – Carol shared the results of the survey

Key Points

Decisions / Discussion

Committee Structures

• Potential for Board Members act as Committee Chairs: • Start with board members then move forward for chairs or co-chairs • Tradition for Board Members serving as Chairs: NONE seems to exist • Having board members as chairs gives us a lot of strength •Reminder: Time table exists for committee work • Spreadsheet available for all members – needs to go into regular database • Clearly define what committee members are responsible for and how long they are agreeing to serve • Board should be responsible for what each committee should complete • Monthly conference calls really help with this • Check and see if past committee chairs still interested?

CTC Committee

• JoAnn Rossi will chair this committee

Advocacy Committee

Nomination and Elections Committee (active)

• Lori Hamada will chair this committee • Election backs up from date of CMC (Palm Springs 2010) • Joanne recommended that Lori invite her, as a former member, to join

Website Committee (active) • Carol Fry Bolin will chair this committee Membership Committee (look • Carl Lager volunteered to will chair this committee, board will help identify

Networking Committee

• Mike Lutz will Chair this Committee • Patrick Callahan contacted for help in networking / he is interested in helping in this area as far as structure. • CAMTE need to be the GO TO organization for mathematics issues and expertise • Does this committee go hand in hand with policy and advocacy
