What a great conference I attended! I just arrived home a few hours ago from the PCTM (PA Council of Mathematics Teachers) conference that was held in Lake Harmony, PA. I learned so much from the workshops and speakers that I attended. Yesterday was the first pre-service teacher workshop that was held. They had special speakers for us where he spoke about first year teaching including some pointers for our classrooms. I attended workshops on how to use new technology and applications, motivation for students, and cooperative learning groups. Each speaker handed out packets of information to take home with us to review at our own leisure. There were many math teachers, elementary as well as secondary and post secondary that had many good tips and tricks, especially for the pre-service teachers like myself. I believe that the information and experience I had will definitely help me when interviewing and in my classroom.
