Regional Workshops

The MIP leverages faculty leadership and expertise developed through its Initiation Workshops and CoRDs to develop and deliver institutional and regional professional development workshops on teaching entry-level college mathematics courses, incorporating applications and active learning, and addressing academic success skills. Each Regional Workshop lasts a full day and engages approximately 20 mathematics faculty in implementing one or two of the modules developed by the CoRDs and ensuring familiarity with the module resources. Each workshop is led by faculty from the respective CoRDs with support of MIP personnel who assist the leaders in designing the workshop activities with advice from project consultants. A goal of the Regional Workshops is to engage all relevant faculty in hosting nearby institutions and to develop a structure that will provide training for new faculty and continuing professional development for all faculty; hence, having a process at the end of the MIP for faculties to sustain and enhance mathematics learning through inquiry.
