Dear Barbara

the conference announced in this mail might perhaps attract your attention or the attention of your colleagues. We would be happy to welcome you!

Best wishes

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the upcoming second conference: ‘Educating the educators - international approaches to scaling-up professional development in maths and science education’ and to send you the call for proposals for that conference. The European project mascil (Mathematics and Science for Life!) and the DZLM (German Centre for Mathematics Teacher Education, funded by the Deutsche Telekom Foundation) are pleased to host the conference.
This conference follows on the great success of the first one we hosted on this topic in December 2014 in Essen, Germany (almost 200 researchers, policy makers and practitioners participated in the first conference).

The conference will take place from 7 to 8 November 2016 (including an Early Career Researchers’ Day on 9 November) at the University of Education Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.

AIMS AND DIMENSIONS
This is the second international conference specifically devoted to the topic of educating the educators in mathematics and science education. It will serve as a platform for international exchange about concepts and experiences. The aim is to present and discuss different approaches which ensure a high quality of the education of educators:
•         Personal dimension: Which roles, contents and activities have to be considered in the PD for facilitators (in professional learning communities and in the multiplier concept)?
•         Material dimension: Which role can materials play in professional development for math and science teachers (classroom materials, face-to-face PD materials and e-learning PD materials)?
•         Structural dimension: How to establish adequate systemic project designs for scaling up and their evaluation (like e.g. in mascil or other professionalisation projects)?
INNOVATIVE FORMATS
The conference will use innovative and interactive formats to help bring out the specific benefit of gathering a circle of participants from research, practice and policy. Particular conference features will be:
•         keynote lectures held by Alan Schoenfeld (Berkeley, US), Malcolm Swan (Nottingham, UK), and Olaf Köller (Kiel, Germany)
•         contributions on scaling-up PD from teacher educators, teacher education researchers, teachers and multipliers
•         a special, half-day policy seminar on overcoming challenges in scaling-up teacher PD –researchers and practitioners engage in mutual exchange with policy makers
•         involvement of the evolving STEM Professional Development Centre practice network
•         a materials market allowing participants to exhibit interesting professional development materials (including classroom materials) and learn about other materials.
•         Early Career Researchers’ Day (9 November 2016)

The deadline for submission of proposals is Friday, 16 April 2016. The proposal should not exceed 2 pages.

TARGET GROUPS
The main target groups are teacher educators and researchers, multipliers and relevant networks, educators of multipliers and teacher educators, policy makers, teacher professional development centres, maths and science education support centres, presidents and representatives of PD institutions, teacher associations and relevant networks, as well as policy makers in the field of math and science education.

For more information please see the attached call for proposals as well as the conference flyer or visit our conference website http://educating-the-educators.ph-freiburg.de/

We are looking forward to receiving your contributions and to seeing you at the conference.

With kind regards, the conference board:
