 PSCTM was founded to encourage continual professional growth among local mathematics teachers. The organization sponsors
three major activities during the year: a fall, a winter, and a spring dinner. A variety of programs are presented at these
events, ranging from using a given manipulative in grades K-12 to the role teachers are playing in the new assessments.

Creating a culture of mathematics
Greta will address concerns about the culture of mathematics today. We can be leaders of change in a cultural transformation. How students view themselves as learners in a mathematics classroom impacts their success in mathematics. Participants will read Carol Dweck’s work and discuss our capacity as teachers to influence students’ perception of their own abilities.
