Please note the new option to add a Geometry endorsement to a standard educator license:
This may be beneficial, for example, to teachers with an existing Middle Level Math licensure.
The ACTM Month of Math starts THIS week with a keynote from NCTM President Trena Wilkerson & AAML pre-conference keynote with NCSM President Mona Toncheff. https://nam11.safelinks.protec
Virtual Conference registration gets you an annual ACTM membership and access to webinar recordings.
The Arkansas Advanced Initiative for Math and Science would like to invite you to join us for our virtual fall two-day workshop in AP Calculus and AP Statistics. This workshop will be held via zoom October 5th and 6th from 8:30am until 3:30pm. We are very excited to have secured two of the best content developers and presenters in both Calculus and Statistics!
Attending the AR AIMS Fall Two-Day workshop along with the Spring Two-Day Mock Reading will provide AP Endorsement Recertification from the Arkansas Department of Education. For more information on this and other AR AIMS workshops, visit http://www.ualr.edu/aaims.
