Summer Workshop
A professional development opportunity in the summer for math faculty who are currently or will be teaching algebra or pre-calculus. We are looking for your expertise and experience in developing concept maps and developing better questions that we can use in these classes.
Background
On-Ramp to STEM, a project funded by the California Education Learning Lab program, forms a partnership between Fresno State, Fresno City College, Clovis Community College, and University High School to improve learning outcomes in math courses, in particular college algebra and pre-calculus, by developing and implementing an open-source adaptive learning technology, and utilizing culturally responsive teaching pedagogy. We focus on algebra and pre-calculus because they represent important, foundational courses of the STEM pathway.Â
Summer Workshop
This is a great opportunity to be a part of this transformative change in algebra and pre-calculus courses. Participants will:
Write fair and robust assessment questions that are culturally responsive and adaptable to different student backgrounds.
Learn about the development of an open-source adaptive learning system that puts students in the driver seat of their own learning.
Engage in meaningful discussions on Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT).
Develop class activities that promote a growth mindset and strengthen students' sense of belonging.
