Mathematics Workshop: June 2008
|
|
| Kuyers Institute math curriculum project |
From June 23 to 27, 2008, the Kuyers Institute will be hosting a workshop at Calvin College for mathematics teachers at Christian schools. Jim Bradley and Gary Talsma, two members of the mathematics curriculum project, will be leading the week-long workshop, entitled "Fostering Moral and Spiritual Development in the Mathematics Classroom."
Middle school, high school, and college mathematics teachers in faith-based schools are told to integrate their faith into all the subject matter they teach. But how does this work with mathematics? In this workshop participants will examine the rich tradition of thought about the relationship between mathematics and Christian faith. The workshop will also have a strong emphasis on
practical curriculum design and will examine
resources from the Charis Project and from Kuyers mathematics project (both substantial curriculum projects seeking to connect mathematics with spiritual and moral development in rigorous and educationally responsible ways).
Those interested should download and submit the application form (PDF). A schedule and syllabus (PDF) is also available.
In addition, participants will have the option of receiving two (2) graduate credits or six (6) Michigan SB-CEUs from Calvin College; information is available in the application. |
