Margaret L. Kidd |
Margaret received her degree in Mathematics Education in 2003 from Teacher's College, Columbia University after spending most of her life as a high school math teacher (as well as an elementary and junior high teacher). He is an associate professor in the Cal State Fullerton Mathematics Department where she began her university career in 2003. Her work in high schools throughout the country, both as a teacher and a professional developer, has given her a unique perspective for coordinating CSUF's credential program in full mathematics as well as working with secondary student teachers. She regularly provides professional development for elementary teachers through the Orange County Mathematics Project at Fullerton (OCMPF). She was also the leader for the Mathematical Modeling task force under the auspices of CMP, CMC, AMTE, and CISC which developed a week long professional institute for that strand of the new CaCCSSM.
Margaret has been a member of and actively involved in CAMTE since its inception. She would like to see CAMTE be a strong voice for all math educators in Sacramento and is committed to work to see that happen. She is active in the mathematics education community and is a member of NCTM, AMTE, WME, TODOS, CMC, and OCMC.

April Cherrington |
April Cherrington has served as the Mathematics Coordinator at the County Office for the past eleven years. She has over twenty years of teaching experience 4th grade through college, most of which was at the middle school level in the San Mateo-Foster City School District. Her previous experience includes being a Mentor Teacher, Math Coach, Middle School Math Renaissance Cluster Leader, and Program Chair for the CMC-N Asilomar Conference. She has written math curriculum and professional development units, and has been a member of the Numeracy Project, Mathematics Adoption Toolkit, California Course of Study, and Common Core State Standards Joint Rollout teams. She is also the Region 4 Lead for the CISC-Math Subcommittee.
April believes that the work CAMTE has done to promote professional development for mathematics teachers at all levels is even more important now we transition to the Common Core State Standards. She is interested in working collaboratively with those doing professional development at district and county levels and those organizations doing teacher preparation, particularly as this relates to the elementary math specialist credentials.
