A Message from Our President, Demicco Witherspoon-Graham!
Thank you for joining us at this year’s MCTM Conference. Your presence, engagement, and professional generosity created the kind of learning environment that reminds us why mathematics education in Missouri continues to grow stronger each year. The conversations in sessions, the problem-solving energy in hallways, and the commitment to equity and excellence in mathematics classrooms were felt throughout the event.
As you return to your schools and districts, we encourage you to carry this momentum forward. The ideas you explored here—improving discourse, elevating student voice, strengthening conceptual understanding, and refining instructional routines—gain their real power when we bring them back to our students and colleagues.
MCTM remains dedicated to supporting that work every day. We are more than a conference organizer; we are Missouri’s professional home for mathematics educators. Whether you are seeking collaboration, leadership opportunities, access to research-based practices, or a network of colleagues who understand the challenges and joys of teaching math, MCTM is here to walk alongside you.
We invite you to stay connected throughout the year:
-
Engage with our professional learning opportunities.
-
Form student math teams and projects;
-
Write a FAME grant for your math project
-
Form a math team for contests and competition
-
Stay in the KNOW and share your voice and expertise
- Encourage colleagues to become part of the community.
Thank you again for your commitment to students and to the teaching and learning of mathematics across Missouri. We look forward to seeing you next year and continuing the work together.
