9-12 Educators- Why should YOU attend the MCTM Spring Conference?

The MCTM Spring Conference is an exciting professional learning opportunity for grades 9–12 educators looking to strengthen instruction and stay current with evolving standards. Designed with classroom teachers in mind, this conference offers practical strategies, engaging sessions, and collaborative learning focused on improving student thinking and understanding.

A key focus of this year’s conference is preparing for the Minnesota 2022 Math Standards. Sessions will support teachers in unpacking anchor standards, aligning curriculum and assessment, and translating standards into meaningful daily instruction that promotes conceptual understanding and coherence across grade levels.

Teachers will also find a strong emphasis on statistics and data literacy, an increasingly important area in secondary mathematics. Sessions will highlight effective instructional routines and real-world applications that help students analyze data, reason statistically, and communicate their thinking with confidence.

For educators interested in improving classroom engagement, the conference features sessions on Building Thinking Classrooms and high-impact instructional routines. These sessions will provide practical tools to foster collaboration, productive struggle, and student-centered learning environments that support deeper mathematical thinking.

In addition, the MCTM Spring Conference explores the growing role of computer science and artificial intelligence in education. Learn how to integrate Minnesota’s Computer Science Benchmarks into math instruction and examine how AI is shaping teaching, learning, and assessment. Join colleagues from across the state to gain fresh ideas, actionable resources, and renewed inspiration for your classroom.
