About Us

In Fall 2017, the Maryland AAT Oversight Council charged a committee to review the outcomes associated with the Early Childhood and Elementary AAT degree programs and make recommendations for changes or updates to those programs. In 2018, a representative group of mathematics professors, educators and teacher educators worked with K-12 mathematics education experts to create an updated set of AAT mathematics outcomes and recommend changes or updates as necessary to ensure alignment of courses with common core standards and the integration of computational thinking into revised course frameworks.

During our discussions, the work group identified a need for resources to help mathematics faculty work with their students to achieve these outcomes. A team has now been working on developing a repository of the resources, with the following mathematics teacher educators included along the way:

• Deb Poese, Workgroup Lead-- Professor of Mathematics/Director, Teacher Education Partnerships,

Montgomery College

• Stacey Brown-Hobbs-- Director of Teacher Education, Mount St. Mary’s University

• Christy Graybeal--Associate Professor of Education and Mathematics/Chair of Education Department,

Hood College

• Beth Kobett—Professor of Education, Stevenson University

• Mike Long – Professor of Mathematics/Dean, Howard Community College

• Karen McLaren-- Principal Lecturer of Mathematics, UMCP

• Barbara Ann Swartz -- Assistant Professor of Mathematics, West Chester University, Pennsylvania

(previously McDaniel College)

• Ming Tomayko— Professor of Mathematics Education, Towson University

• Resource: Debra Ward—Mathematics Supervisor, Maryland State Department of Education

Funding support for this project has been provided by the University System of Maryland through the First in the World Maryland Mathematics Reform Initiative (FITW MMRI) funded by the US Department of Education’s First in the World Grant.

Additional support and web hosting is provided by the Association of Maryland Mathematics Teacher Educators. Learn more information or join us at AMMTE.
