The seminar focuses on evidenced-based teaching in undergraduate mathematics. It will feature internal and external speakers and workshops to contribute to the professional development of graduate students and faculty. Seminar topics will include classroom practices, assessment, curriculum development, equity, how students learn, and structures for sustaining change.

As teachers, we use the power of questions to assess and build our students’ mathematical understanding. The questions we ask can determine how our students think about concepts, respond to inquiry, collaborate with others, connect ideas, and ask their own questions. Because of this, we will take time to pause and reflect on the questions we ask in our classes. We will question the purpose of our questions, the types of questions we ask, and the questioning strategies we use to better understand our own pedagogical practices so that we can improve our students’ mathematical understanding.

In this interactive seminar, we will be discussing excerpts from Building Thinking Classrooms by Peter Liljedahl. This book focuses on research-backed strategies to foster engagement and critical thinking in the mathematics classroom. Participants will reflect on their own experiences and discuss practical ways to implement the strategies discussed in excerpts, so please look at the reading ahead of time ( link to reading).
In this talk I will present two of my passion projects around the topic of belonging in mathematics: the Math For All conference and the Meet a Mathematician interview collection. Math For All is a conference with the goal of creating a welcoming environment to enjoy and discuss mathematics. Meet a Mathematician is a collection of video interviews to mathematicians mostly from historically excluded groups in mathematics. Both projects aim to spotlight role models for students from underrepresented groups in mathematics at the same time as highlighting their other identities and career life.
