We are posting news, announcements, and status reports as our project progresses. Please feel free to contact us if there is information that you would like that you cannot find here or elsewhere on our site.
Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,
Our December blog focusses on the value of making mistakes. It seems counter intuitive, but we often learn more when we make mistakes than when we "get it right" immediately. And yes, this is true for our students AND for ourselves as teachers. :) Read the blog.
Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,
We are getting ready to head out to the 2014 conference on "Transforming STEM Education" organized by the Association of American Colleges & Universities (AAC&U). In our presentation, we will advocate strongly for the importance of enhancing STEM literacy for all students, by modeling ways we can deepen the mathematical experiences for students in the Liberal Arts. We will also share some early evaluation data about our IBL approach.
Dear Colleagues, Friends, & Supporters,
We are so excited about the increasing visibility of our project, thanks to our collaboration with Steven Strogatz.
Dear colleagues, friends, and supporters:
You may enjoy reading an article in The Atlantic about Steven Strogatz' experiences with teaching mathematics for liberal arts using "Discovering the Art of Mathematics" materials.
