It is time to make calculus more empowering for students. What a joy to bring this to life with Alan Garfinkel ! edsurge.com/news/2023-09-0… It is time you heard about this math revolution. #iteachmath

How can we help our nation's students succeed in math? Join NCES & our own Brendan Kelly this Sept. for the 2023 IES Math Summit, where some of America’s most respected experts will share their thoughts on how we can help students succeed in math registration.socio.events/e/iesmathsummit #edequity

Calculus is a requirement for students across multiple disciplines because it unlocks a way of viewing the world that is incredibly valuble. It is time that mathematics to empower students instead derail studnets from pursuing their passion. #iteachmath

I'm extensively quoted in this EdSurge article, picked up by USA Today and tweeted by the MAA. But the tweet doesn't really do justice to the article or pioneering approach here. It's not the old idea of teaching calculus through real world problems. I'll go deeper... (1/n)

It was such an honor to be able to spotlight data science education in higher Ed at this summit. We need to increase rigor in mathematics classes by connecting the mathematics to the world and empowering students. #iteachmath

Thanks to Greg Goldsmith @CanopyinClouds for speaking at this year's Jameel Al-Aidroos Mathematical Pedagogy Lecture Series on what it means to be a mentor! And thanks to everyone who participated and brought their unique experiences to the conversation. #harvardmath #Mentorship

It was so wonderful to welcome @CanopyinClouds to the department and lean into our commitment to #mentorship. Do you have a working definition of mentorship? Do you have a strategy to be an effective mentor? I am working on both!

Applications are due this week!

I notice that many of you are debating direct instruction and inquiry-based learning again. I wrote up some thoughts about that debate. danmeyer.substack.com/p/how-to-not-w…

As reliance on technology and algorithms grows across every industry, equitable #math opportunities are more critical than ever for a thriving #democracy. Executive director Pamela Burdman explores these themes from #TMO24 in a new blog. justequations.org/blog/todays-ma…

That's a wrap for the 2024 "Master Class in Teaching Math Modeling for Life Sciences" workshop! Thanks to our instructors, Alan Garfinkel and Eric Deeds, as well as all the participants who brought lively discussion and unique perspectives to the table! #harvardmath #math

We are looking for a senior teaching-focused faculty member this fall. If you want to create empowering experiences for students, mentor new instructors, and create inclusive learning communities, I encourage you to consider applying! mathjobs.org/jobs/list/24816

I'm excited about the first OLSUME seminar on Tuesday! We’re kicking off with #BuildingThinkingClassrooms and insights from Peter Liljedahl on promoting student thinking. April Strom and Christine von Renesse will share how BTC applies in the college setting. #iteachmath #maanow

Curious how AI can boost learning in your math class? Join us next Tuesday at 12 PM ET for an exciting session on how AI tools can transform students' learning experiences. #iteachmath #maanow American Physical Society olsume.org

Math preceptor Eva Politou will introduce an AI tutor to Math 21a (Multivariable Calculus) this fall in the workshop portion of the course. Students will generate questions about a specific topic and search for answers with the AI tutor acting as a guide. news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/…

How do we help students develop effective learning strategies in math class? Join OLSUME this Tuesday at Noon ET to hear from Rachel Diethorn about her strategies. #maanow American Mathematical Society @tpsemath
