A teacher at Washington Heights Expeditionary Learning School, Nina Gribetz teaches math to 7th and 8th grade students and serves as the math department chair. Nina Gribetz works to stay abreast of current trends. To that end, she has attended the annual meeting and exposition hosted by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
Each year, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics hosts their annual meeting and exposition in cities across the country. The event gives math teachers an opportunity to network, exchange ideas, and discover new teaching practices. The 2018 event took place in April in Washington, D.C.
Attendees of the annual meeting and exposition could choose from over 600 sessions, workshops, and quick informational presentations called bursts. Organizers grouped various educational opportunities into strands that addressed topics of interest. Topics included access and equity, assessment, curriculum, professionalism, best practices, modeling, and technology. New teachers of mathematics could also attend sessions in a strand designed specifically for them.
The 2018 conference featured a number of keynote presentations that addressed topics such as revolution in STEM education, catalyzing change in high school mathematics, and implementing effective math teaching in elementary and middle school.
