NCTM and MICTM

The NCTM is the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. It is the world's largest mathematics education organization. You can find out more about them through their social media outlets:
Facebook Twitter There are different options for a membership. An individual membership is $90 a year, while a student membership is $45 a year. There are also options for schools to be members. Full individual membership is designed to meet the needs of those reaching students, including teachers, administrators, specialists, coaches, teacher-educators, and others. Individuals who care about the quality of mathematics education provided to students, who want to ensure they are engaging students and encouraging them to meet their fullest potential are members of NCTM. Members get access to many newsletters, articles and professional development opportunities for free or at a reduced cost. You also become a part of a network of thousands of math ed. educators that you can connect with. Members also get access to lessons, problems applets and more to use in your classroom. There is a research journal which can be included in your membership for an additional cost. 

There are many different conferences and events throughout the year. For example, in February they are having a conference on Effective Teaching with Principles to Actions. Principles to Actions is one of their textbooks. The conference is 2 days in Dallas and it costs $380 for an individual if they are a member or $420 if not a member. There are also discounts for schools and groups. There is also an annual meeting and exposition which is in San Fransisco in April of this year. There are many different pricing options for this conference as well. There is even a student registration price of $182. 

I really like this organization and I have worked a lot with their standards and text, Principles to Action in some of my previous classes. 

The MICTM is the Michigan Council of Teachers of Mathematics. I could not find them on any social media websites. 

They have a few membership options. It costs $35 for a regular membership or $17.50 for a student. A membership gives you access to their newsletter which comes out 3-4 times a year, their journal which is published twice a year and their annual report. You also have access to other outsides resources like links and assessment tools. 

They do have an annual conference which is being held in July this year in Traverse City. 

This organization works closely with the Michigan Department of Education and even offers many scholarships for teachers.
