FTYCMA Officers’ Meeting
Classroom Building U-202B
The format of this year’s Fall Retreat is returning to one that has been utilized at several of our past Retreats. After the opening session with our
update from the Florida Department of Education, we will break into three discussion strands. Each discussion session will be led by a
facilitator, but the intent is for all attendees to share ideas that contribute to the overarching topic. The general concept is for all Retreat
attendees to be able to participate in each of the discussion strands by the end of the Retreat. Then at the end of the Retreat, the facilitators will
bring synopses of the activities from their sessions to the final summary and discussion for one last open forum with the purpose of developing
an outline for a document to be distributed to all mathematics faculty in the state of Florida and posted on the FTYCMA website for public
review.
