Year 1 Projects

2003- 2004 Academic Year

• Changing Pedagogies in Math and Science, Education 220: a course co-taught by Dr. Victor Donnay, Professor of Mathematics, Bryn Mawr College and Dr. Deborah Pomeroy, Associate Professor of Science Education, Arcadia University, spring 2004. Students learned about new approaches to math and science teaching and got to see these approaches being implemented as they assisted in local classrooms.

• Math and Science Pedagogy Lecture Series: a weekly lecture series accompanying the Changing Pedagogies course in which a wide range of stake holders in educational reform in the region spoke. The lecture series took place on Thursday evenings, 7:00-8:30pm in room 338, Park Science Building.

• A half-day workshop for math and science faculty from Bryn Mawr, Haverford and Swarthmore in which faculty shared and discussed their efforts at new pedagogical approaches. The workshop was organized by Xenia Morin and Samatha Glazer, Keck Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellows at Bryn Mawr.

• America Counts Math Tutoring, sponsored by the Community Service Office, in which Bryn Mawr students tutored local elementary, middle, and high school students in mathematics. The MSPGP paid transportation costs for the students.

• Reform Calculus: Jeff Tecotsky-Feldman of the Haverford Mathematics Department taught a summer course on reform calculus to teachers from the MSPGP.
