The mission of the Clayton State University’s School of Education Unit is to prepare professional educators who engage in reflective practice and who are competent, caring, committed, collaborative, culturally responsive, and prepared to teach diverse learners in an ever-changing society. The purpose of this assignment is to contribute to your development as a reflective practitioner; aid in developing habits and habits of mind that will assist you in becoming a life-long learner and effective mathematics educator; and aid in honing important technology and presentation skills that go beyond your classroom experiences.
As a future teacher it is important that you are aware of the important insights and best practices for teachers. It is critical that you are aware of the valuable resources and opportunities offered in the field of mathematics and that you stay up-to-date on research, educational trends, and tested effective practices. One important resource to acquire this information is from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) https://www.nctm.org/.

3. Please NOTE that slides should not be heavily texted. I do not want to see paragraph after paragraph of words. This is a presentation, not a written assignment, therefore each slide may have a maximum of 50 to 60 words. It is your explanation and discussion that demonstrate your research and understanding. Reading content taken from another source word for word, or simply reading the words on the slides does not support a proficient personal presentation. You must be well read on the theorists and be able to discuss the assignments requirements in your own words, paraphrasing what you have researched and learned. Not that you must include your citations anytime you summarize/paraphrase or take a direct of the authors work on the slide.
