[CCoE Notice] Sept 29: NSM Faculty Development Workshop

[Grayson, Audrey A]

Dear Faculty:

The next NSM Faculty Development Workshop is scheduled for Thursday, September 29, from 11:30 am – 12:45 pm in Agnes Arnold, Room 2.  Lunch will be provided; please RSVP using the link below.  A flyer is attached.

Topic: “Inquiry Based Learning: Mathematics and Beyond”

Presenter:
Dr. Michael Starbird
Professor, University of Texas-Austin

Methods of instruction called Inquiry Based Learning emphasize what the students are doing. Students prove theorems on their own and present their results to their peers. Expected outcomes for students include their developing theorem-proving skills and the ability to tell whether a proof is correct or flawed. But beyond those mathematical skills, an Inquiry Based Learning experience frequently helps students to learn self-reliance, independent thinking, creativity, and willingness to make mistakes. Those habits can change lives permanently in every area of their experience.

I hope you will join us on September 29!
