PA Mathematics Teaching Summit
October 24, 2026 - Carlow University
The PA Mathematics Teaching Summit is a one-day conference for both Pre-Service Teachers and In-Service Teachers, sponsored by PCTM (Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of Mathematics) and PAMTE (Pennsylvania Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators).
All sessions are open to both Pre-Service Teachers and In-Service Teachers, and are representative of all levels of education K-12. The sessions will include a focus on the Pre-Service Teachers, specifically in things that will help them prepare for and navigate a job interview, creating a portfolio, and preparation for managing a classroom among many other topics. There will also be sessions that both the Pre-Service Teacher and In-Service Teacher will find helpful in classroom instruction techniques and specific lesson examples that have been used by other teachers with success. This year's keynote speaker is Michael Fierle. He serves as the Math and Science Director for AIU3. The face-to-face networking between In-Service Teachers as well as Pre-Service Teachers is a priceless experience.
All sessions and lunch will be in AJ Palumbo Hall with Keynote session in Antonian Hall.

Poster Presentations
- There will be a set time during the day where your pre-service teacher may make a poster presentation. All posters will be in the same room. Poster set-up time will be 12:30-12:45 (after lunch), with the poster session from 12:45-1:15.
- We encourage your pre-service teachers to place their poster content on a tri-fold that can stand on top of a table.
- Conference participants will stroll through the different displays from 12:45-1:15, much like poster sessions at a conference, reading and interacting with your pre-service teacher about the awesome work your students created.
- The poster presentation your students make can vary based on the work you are doing with them in your classroom. Here are some ideas: 1) present an innovative or redesigned student-centered lesson; 2) present research that is connected to effective mathematics instructional strategies; 3) present research on how to effectively teach a topic in mathematics. Brief demonstrations with hands-on materials are encouraged, but the space to demonstrate these materials will be limited.
