The course is a short intervention designed to change students’ relationships with math. I have taught this intervention successfully in the past (in classrooms); it caused students to re-engage successfully with math, taking a new approach to the subject and their learning.
Who else is up for some summer professional development?

May 14, 2013 - 2:53 pm -Are you suggesting a collaborative group?
I’m not even sure where I’ll be teaching next year, much less what – This should be good to keep my head in the game.

Math is like Wine, not Beer,

August 14, 2013 - 8:58 am -This will change the way I teach and also change the messages I give the students. This course was trans-formative!
