General Information
The goal of this course is to expose prospective mathematics teachers to the field of secondary mathematics education. Among other things, students will observe classroom teachers, read mathematics education literature, do middle and high school level mathematics from an adult perspective, discuss mathematics education issues, and explore effective teaching strategies. Reflection and critical analysis, through written assignments and discussions, are key components of the course. Seminars for 103A and 103C meet seven times per quarter. Seminars for 103B meet six times per quarter and students attend the annual Curtis Center Conference. Active participation is expected.
