Poster Session
KAMTE invites you, as pre-service mathematics teachers, to submit a proposal to present a poster that highlights any of your research or learning in your teacher education program. Research may include undergraduate research projects or action research in which you have participated. Haven’t participated in research? Present on effective teaching strategies, good teacher moves, motivating tasks for students, or anything else you have learned about that you think others should learn about too!
Examples of past posters presented by pre-service teachers are available for you to look at as you consider your own poster proposal.
To submit a poster for presentation, send the following information to Bethany Noblitt, KAMTE Past President, at
noblittb@nku.edu: Name(s), academic institution, faculty sponsor, poster title and abstract.
