The North Carolina Council Teachers of Mathematics (NCCTM) held their state conference Nov. 5-6, 2015 in Greensboro, NC. A delegation of 20+ MAEd High School Mathematics Cohort students were among those representing ECU as presenters at this event. These students are all practicing teachers with a range of experience from first year to 20+, representing local school districts, including Beaufort, Craven, Carteret, Edgecombe, Greene, Nash-Rocky Mount, Onslow, Pitt, and Wayne. The theme for the conference was Principles to Action in Action, and their presentation focused on Principles to Practice in High School Math Classes. They shared original, research-based mathematical tasks and lesson materials that capture the mathematics teaching practices outlined in Principles to Action: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All (NCTM, 2014). The active engagement between presenters and attendees provided participants with a greater appreciation of the exciting happenings in eastern North Carolina high school mathematics classrooms and graduate education at ECU!
