INSTITUTE UPDATE
Expertise Bios & Sessions | Session Resource | Logistics
The ’09 TMP Institute set the stage for a new Gates Foundation grant targeting system improvements to pre-college math curriculum, instruction and assessment/placement. The Institute was mostly comprised of college math faculty teams charged with crafting initial implementation plans to address these core, inter-connected focus areas. The Institute theme, Building College Coalitions around Core practices Worthy of Attention, was supported with an abundance of team planning time, plenary sessions highlighting state, federal and private sector connections and current research, and concurrent sessions demonstrating practices worthy of attention.
Here you’ll find Institute handouts, session descriptions and corresponding PowerPoints, webinars, project poster displays, and a host of related readings.
College teams seeking to learn more about the proposed project, gathered to discuss relevant “practices worthy of attention” around the state and the country, and if interested they were invited to begin the process of preparing an application for participating in the project. Event planners offered a productive mix of presentations from national math experts (including Uri Treisman from the UT Dana Center), interactive sessions focused on specific strategies/approaches relevant to pre-college math, and team reflection/planning time.

During the course of the event, participants were encouraged to do some focused and structured planning/thinking. Having already done some preliminary work on their applications and they were asked to expand on those points if they are interested in becoming a part of the larger project.
