Reimagining Calculus Through Team-Based Course Redesign
Page: 1297
Change can be transformative when it aligns with a department’s cultural norms and faculty’s shared vision. Informed by the literature on sustainable change, the Foundational Course Transformation Academy (FCTA), a team-based initiative from (Institution) Learning in collaboration with the Department of Mathematics, is redesigning the Calculus I course to create learning environments that are better for students and instructors. In phase 1, the FCTA team established community norms, reviewed literature, and developed a shared, value-based vision. After aligning their proposals with the literature, stakeholder feedback, and institutional data, they crafted several transformational goals. In phase 2, the team is applying the backward design framework to define course competencies and learning outcomes, and to develop instructional material that reflects those goals. The final phase will focus on implementation, assessment, and sustainability. By attending this poster, participants will gain insight into our change process and effective, sustainable redesign strategies.
