Opening Access to Professional Development: Outcomes of Teaching-Focused Online Workshops
Page: 1450
Professional development (PD) workshops on teaching have been shown to effectively increase undergraduate math instructors’ use of research-based instructional strategies (Archie et al., 2022). However, face-to-face PD is not accessible for all math instructors, including those with young families, those at under-resourced institutions, and those concerned about the environmental impacts of travel. In response to these constraints, the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) sponsored a series of nine online PD workshops in summer 2022. The MAA solicited proposals and selected teams to lead workshops on a variety of mathematics teaching topics. The purpose of this preliminary research was to explore the outcomes of the 2022 workshops.
