Planning Summer Cohort Camp
Spring 2009 & Summer 2009
The intention of this grant is to offer an 18-hour sequence of mathematics graduate courses to teachers with a significant mathematical background so that they would then be eligible to teach dual credit mathematics courses. In order to achieve this goal some bridge work is necessary as many have not been math students in awhile. To begin this bridge work as well as provide a bonding experience for the cohort, I will plan and implement the two week summer camp with my colleague Casey Mann.
Project NExT Course “Undergraduate Research – How to Make It Work”
Mathfest 2008
July 2008
Various aspects of undergraduate research were discussed – how to get started, what different levels of research one can expect from undergraduates, how (and where) to find good problems, outlets for presenting and publishing undergraduate research, and differences between short-term and long-term research projects.
Mini Workshop at the 11th Annual Legacy of R.L. Moore Conference
Austin, Texas; July 2008
This workshop provided an introduction to the Modified Moore Method or Inquiry Based Learning. Mathematics education articles were discussed, best practices were shared from faculty experienced with MMM/IBL, and a session was devoted to created appropriate course materials for students.
Short Course “Integrating Biological Applications in the Mathematics Curriculum”
Texas Section meeting of the Mathematical Association of America

Knot Theory; Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, NC; June 9-13, 2003
This program was aimed at college and university teachers who are interested in learning more about knot theory. Upon completion of the workshop, teachers should be able to teach an undergraduate course in knot theory, do research in knot theory, and direct student research in knot theory.
Project NExT Fellow; 2002-3.
Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a program for new or recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences who are interested in improving the teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics. It addresses the full range of faculty responsibilities in teaching, research, and service, and it provides professional support for new faculty as they undertake these activities.
