Join with other teachers from across the state who are passionate about teaching mathematics for a couple of days of "math camp" this summer to share your love of teaching. If you are interested in improving your math teaching skills, if you work with other teachers in your building, district, region, or around the state to improve math education for all, or if you like to share activities and resources with your colleagues, then yes, OML is for you! Whether it's developing engaging teaching strategies, uncovering misconceptions about teaching math, or finding new ways to connect with and inspire students, we all have insights to share. This is what teachers will do as they are “Communicating” at this year's OML.
Oregon Department of Education (ODE) assessment specialist Bryan Toller and math curriculum specialist Mark Freed will address state and national trends, provide updates on opportunities statewide to become involved at a local level, and respond to your questions and comments. You will be able to express your concerns and hear how decisions are being made or what's on the table and how to provide your input. This year they will be addressing elementary and secondary concerns separately, so everyone will get the focused information they need. The Oregon Department of Education has always valued teachers’ knowledge and their important role in developing our students’ understanding of important mathematical concepts. OML’s founding father and retired ODE math specialist, Don Fineran, put it this way, “Together we have strength, sharing, and service.”

Other advantages to attending OML:
- 16 PDUs
- Option for 1 graduate credit through Southern Oregon University ($75)
- Fun! We have an organized social where you can make new friends and connect with old ones, and an awards banquet to honor some of our amazing peers. And even if you are brand new to OML and don’t know anyone, you can always find people to hang out with in the dorms in the evening, just like you used to do in college!
