We are excited you have joined us back in-person, after being away for 2 years!

Here are a few tips and reminders to make the MOST out of your conference experience:

How to Make the Most Out of a Conference

1. Building your math community (networking)

a. Bring a colleague with you

b. Connect with others in your sessions (emails and Twitter)

c. When you walk into a session, find a table to sit at where

others are already sitting. 

d. Go to the social events

2. Be picky - Choose sessions that will push your learning.

a. Go to sessions where you know the presenter's name

so you can dive deeper into their content

b. Don't just read titles, but also read descriptions

of the sessions

3. Check out the goods - Hit up the exhibitors area

4. Learn one new thing that you can implement

a. Not just from the conference, but from each

session you attend

5. Access the free learning online

a. Podcasts

b. #mtbos

c. Social media

In conclusion, we know how tough these past few years has been and realize and acknowledge

that it took a toll on all of us. If you want to learn how to continue to address and progress equity

in mathematics, learn about effective culturally relevant pedagogy and instructional routines, and

also build your networking circle, may PCTM be your door to access all of this! If you want to join

in learning alongside your fellow math educators, may we be your nexus. If you feel that your

educator flame may be a little dimmer, may we help re-ignite your passion for teaching mathematics!

Spread the joy in math,

Rob Baier,

Conference & Registration Chair
