Structured Conference Participation: Building Professional Identity in Preservice Mathematics Teachers

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper describes a structured approach to engaging preservice teachers in professional mathematics education conferences through a combination of presentation or volunteer opportunities. We detail a small-scale program implemented at Author’s University that removes financial barriers to conference participation while providing scaffolded support and mentorship. The program design emphasizes building a community through shared experiences and structured reflection. We offer practical guidance for teacher preparation programs seeking to implement similar initiatives, including timeline considerations, mentoring structures, and assessment strategies.
