Department of Mathematics

This work outlines a model for creating momentum for active learning at the departmental level through a Mathematics Community of Practice (CoP) model. Our approach focuses on empowering members of our CoP by providing easy access to active learning tasks, course pacing guide, and teaching tips via a Dynamic Calendar. Potential approaches for active learning implementation are discussed and shared in monthly CoP meetings at our math department. The instructors at these meetings provide feedback on course materials, check in on their pacing, and share insights. Our instructors report that they feel heard, respected, and supported as a result of being part of the CoP. Data relevant to student success and equity at CSUEB Calculus 1 courses will be shared in this talk.
