Creating YOUR Solution: The National Dev Math Summit
On October 29 and 30 (2013), there will be a National Summit on Developmental Mathematics in Anaheim (CA), sponsored by AMATYC and NADE (with support from others). This Summit precedes the AMATYC conference, but has a different purpose.
The Dev Math Summit is designed to provide information and resources so that you can create a plan for dramatic improvements in your developmental math program. The sessions will provide information on pedagogy, curriculum reform, and the change process itself. In addition, a cadre of mentors will be available to help you apply those ideas — and others — to your situation; these resources will be focused on your interests and needs.
This Dev Math Summit is not a conference — it is more like a workshop. Registration will be limited (in quantity), and participants will be expected to use the entire Summit as well as develop a plan before the end. The schedule starts about noon on Tuesday (Oct 29) and ends by 5pm on Wednesday (Oct 30); an extended period is provided on Wednesday afternoon to work with mentors.
With this design, the Summit will work best if two or three people from an institution attend.
Registration, and the official program, will be posted later this week on the site https://amatyc.site-ym.com/?page=2013ConfHome.
If you have questions about the Summit, I can try to answer them.
