Still conferencing! Today started at the #NCTM Annual Meeting, included a swing by the National Archives, and ended at the beginning of the #ASSM Annual Meeting.

I think I touched all four bases to make NCTM home run today: (1) presented a session, (2) attended sessions, (3) learned new things in the exhibit hall, and (4) found myself in engaging conversations all day long with a group of people I just wouldn't find anywhere else.

It's conference time again! Day 1 of the #NCTM Research Conference included a great opener from Joan Ferrini-Mundy and sessions about elementary discourse and teaching practices, AP performance, assessment design, and models for teacher learning.

Overheard today in the D.C. Marriot lobby:
Girl: "What's going on here, some kind of math conference?"
Guy: "Yeah, it's like the National Council of Math Teachers. Maybe I should go over there and show off my long division skills."
Joke's on you, guy -- this is the research conference, where there are no fewer than 20 people who really, really *would love* to watch you demonstrate your long division skills. A few might even want to write a paper about it.
There are a lot of new things going on at #NCTMAnnual, so I wrote a post to help you get the most out of your time if you are coming next week:
Almost forgot to make my #NCTMAnnual submission before the deadline! I don't know how common it is to have to submit a year in advance like we do for #NCTM, but it feels a little out of order to be proposing a 2024 session while it's still 3+ weeks before I deliver my 2023 session.
