AMTE Awards

The Board of Directors of the Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators has established awards to recognize outstanding work in mathematics teacher education. 

AMTE Conference Registration & Membership Scholarship

 

Awarded Annually

The AMTE Conference Registration & Membership Scholarship provides financial support for mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) with limited travel funds to attend the AMTE annual conference. The scholarship aims to provide an opportunity for MTEs to attend the annual conference for the first or second time, and to broaden AMTE conference participation to include MTEs from a diverse array of agencies that support mathematics teachers.
