Bok Center Recap

Posted in Teacher Training at 1:15 pm by leingang

I just finished my Talk for the 2005 Bok Center Fall Teaching Conference and had a great time. It was my first time leading such a large case discussion, and I found out that doing so is easier than it looks. I had lots of great participants, both in math and outside of math, and we learned a lot about interacting with students outside of class and how to teach a class that can head off a grade discussion at the pass.

I’m looking forward to doing more of these studies in the “TUMS II” Seminar for currently teaching math TFs. Luckily I won’t be the only one leading these case studies–some of the other preceptors will be taking turns. But I think the BC Case studies are great for any math teaching seminar.

Oh, and I would be remiss if I neglected to say that the Bok Center food was great as usual!
