Instructor and Coordinator Perspectives Within First-Year Mathematics Courses
Page: 871
The perspectives, habits, and mindsets of experienced instructors and coordinators serving within course coordination systems are valuable for effective coordination. In this paper, we present perspectives and recommendations from coordinators and instructors being coordinated with the goal of helping those who are new to coordination. We utilize Martinez et al.’s (2022) work on two coordinator orientations, Humanistic-Growth and Knowledge-Managerial, to frame the common perspectives of instructors and coordinators of first-year mathematics courses. Most participants gave reasonings for their decisions surrounding coordination with a healthy balance of Humanistic and Managerial considerations in mind.
