Crystal Kalinec-Craig shares her experiences with teaching math teachers, and how she has benefitted from resources shared by colleagues. She recommends that mathematics teacher educators stay humble. Teaching during the pandemic is not normal, and she works to set the conditions for her class to let students be successful. She hopes that the practices of caring she's using now will continue when we return to face-to-face instruction.

Stephanie Casey describes her path from a mathematics teacher to a statistics teacher to a teacher educator who teaches people to teach statistics. She provides some helpful distinctions between mathematics and statistics, and shares the details about some projects she is working on. She reminds us that statistics involves numbers in a context, and recommends that people who teach statistics get familiar with statistics standards and get up-to-date with technology. Furthermore, she encourages the use of large data sets with multiple variables, and the use of simulation-based inference.

Here are links to some of the projects Stephanie mentioned.
