* Type of presentation

Thematic Presentation (60 minutes) Thematic presentations are designed to include either one substantive presentation or a panel discussion. With one main presentation, there should be two prepared critiques or responses. Panel discussions should formulate the salient points related to an issue of current concern to mathematics teacher educators with a moderator to foster interaction among the panelists. A total of at least 20 minutes must be allocated for participant interaction.

Symposium or Working Group (60 or 90 minutes) Symposia include several presentations focusing on the same issue from different perspectives or related aspects with a minimum of 30 minutes allocated for participant interaction. Working group sessions are designed to permit significant interaction among session organizers and participants on a particular topic of interest to AMTE members. Indicate the preferred time length for the session. Note, however, that the program committee reserves the right to adjust session lengths to fit the confines of the program.
