At three workshops over the course of a year, participants meet experts in the field of mathematical education who give presentations and provide mentoring for participants. Through this program participants are exposed to current teaching ideas in pre-calculus and calculus reform, collaborative learning, differential equations, elementary statistics, and mathematical requirements for liberal arts students, elementary education teachers, and secondary mathematics teachers. In addition, panel discussion topics include the how to continue research while teaching, how to obtain tenure, what role technology should play in a mathematics classroom. Participants also have an e-mail network where posters can ask questions of all participants and mentors on any topic they seek guidance, resources or general advice on.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In a world full of uncertainty, isn&#8217;t it nice to know a statistician?&#8221; Education Interests Teaching Utilizing computer software, collaborative learning, writing, and real data sets in statistics courses and assessing their impact on student learning.
