Artifact: Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics Conference
Reflection:
The Georgia Council of Teachers of Mathematics (GCTM) Conference is a conference that I attended during my ITEC program at KSU. To grow in knowledge and skill, as an educator and math teacher I attended this conference. I attended several sessions that provided me with skills of current and emerging technologies that I could apply to improve personal productivity and professional practice.
Standard 6.1 Continuous Learning artifact demonstrates the ability to evaluate and reflect on professional practice and dispositions. The GCTM Conference allowed me to learn new services, techniques and technologies in the field of educational technology. Attending conferences like the GCTM allows me to continually grow in knowledge and skills of current and emerging technologies. I participated in a session with Linelle Brunson and I learned how to add virtual manipulative to my math lessons. This tool was valuable and when I returned to my classroom, I was able to apply this new knowledge and skill and share the new manipulatives with my students. This new information helped improve my personal productivity and professional practice.
The GCTM Conference was a great professional and personal experience. I was able to connect with colleagues that I do not know even though we work together. We collaborated and figured out ways to improve our instructions and support one another. I was also able to learn new technology ideas to improve my personal productivity and professional practice. If I could change anything about this artifact, I would have changed a couple of the sessions that I attended.
This artifact impacts school improvement, student learning, and professional development by allowing me to participate in professional learning experiences and bringing the information back to share with my school, staff and students. The impact of this artifact can be assessed by surveying teachers regarding conference redelivery.
