Welcome Back
It’s that time of year again!
As the President of ATOMIM, I hope you have the best beginning to this school year. Like you, I have been thinking about my classes and how I want to structure the first class. I love the opportunity each fall to begin again, using what I know has worked in the past and applying what I’ve learned about best practice during my summer professional reading. It’s a high energy time filled with anticipation and a little apprehension about the unknowns that are yet to be revealed.
Summer is a great time to rest, recharge, get ready for the year ahead . I spent some time this summer reading NCTM’s publication, Taking Action K-5, with the 6-8 and 9-12 books still on my reading shelf. I also had the opportunity to attend the NCTM Affiliate Leaders Meeting in Colorado with two other board members, Jenna Daniels and Amanda Grove. This was a well planned meeting where we had time to discuss our goals for the association for the upcoming year as well as participate in several sessions about leadership, advocacy, and communication. I am excited to share what I have learned!
The ATOMIM Board has exciting professional opportunities planned for the coming year. The board held its two day summer retreat at the Viles Foundation in Augusta where we focused on designing ATOMIM’s book study for this year, Taking Action. We have planned two face to face Dine and Discuss meetings. In addition we have a fabulous annual spring conference planned to be held on March 19th and 20th with Peg Smith, Taking Action series editor, as the keynote speaker. Our feature speakers will be, Maggie McGatha, author of Everything You Need for Mathematics Coaching: Tools, Plans, and a Process That Works for Any Instructional Leader, Grades K-12, and Donna Karsten and Sara Frisbie, two of the authors of NCSM’s publication Coaching in Mathematics Education. Mark your calendar for this professional learning opportunity.
Our regional representatives used the retreat time to discuss and plan how to best support teachers of Maine. You may have received an email from the representative for your region. Please check out the ATOMIM website for the name and contact information of your representative.
Have a great beginning to this school year and look for information about our upcoming Dine and Discuss to kick of this year’s book study.
Sincerely,
Jenny Jorgensen
