It is with sadness that we announce the cancellation of #TMC19. The last 7 years have brought teachers together for PD & we hope that there will be more opportunities in the future.
As we and the community still consider options for a conference this summer, we are postponing registration at this time. Keep an eye on our Twitter for more information in early March.
The TMathC organization has been deeply reflective and we are committed to doing better. We failed that this week. We are committed to creating safe, welcoming environments for all. We will do better. https://t.co/ISMwRvHTDB
@crstn85 has resigned her position on the TMathC Board. She has made numerous contributions to make TMC what it is including behind-the-scenes things which help TMC run smoothly. We are grateful for the foundation she helped build.
@SchleiderJustin Some of the sessions we accepted were strong in the 3 areas we looked at but had subpar equity statements. We accepted those sessions, letting them know they needed to improve their equity statement for future submissions.
@SchleiderJustin Wait a moment - let me clarify the yes. We did reject some proposals that had subpar equity statements. But they had other issues as well.
.@DingleTeach has resigned her position on the TMathC Board. She has been instrumental in broadening our reach and understanding, particularly around equity and diversity. We are grateful for her contributions and hope to continue the work she has begun.

To continue with our attempt at greater transparency this year, here's a post about our process for reviewing proposals for #TMC19. Please use it as an entry point for further conversations.

@mathin2ition@stoodle No sessions were rejected solely due to their equity statement. We donโt have the capacity to provide individual feedback on all submissions but we did want to let people know if their equity statement could use work and will have a blog post up soon.
We are trying something new this year to make the community at the conference stronger. Read our plan here - New Blog Post: Homerooms https://t.co/VLRMIVYAAH
