This portion of the workshop will include brainstorming sessions, as participants in our previous workshops have made clear the benefit of the synergy that comes from sharing of experiences and ideas. What previous workshop participants have said: "This experience has been more beneficial to me that you may ever know. I was searching for new methods to implement into my basic math course. Thanks for the insight you've given me! This workshop was very well organized and easy to follow." "Another great workshop! Thank you for all your efforts on behalf of our fragile students who need us to fight for them." "It went way above my expectations. I was hoping to take away a few ideas that I could use in my classroom, and I have so many great materials and ideas to use." "The presentations and activities were excellent. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who teaches developmental math." "Having the chance to network with colleagues and share experiences is more valuable than can be expressed." "The presenters were fantastic." |
