Description
Book SynopsisThis book will provide support for faculty across the country and help enhance their readiness for teaching developmental and corequisite mathematics courses.
Trade ReviewThis timely book presents a poignant statement surrounding the current issues on developmental education. Community college instructors teaching corequisite courses combining the requirements of developmental mathematics and college level mathematics will find it a most valuable resource. An engaging read of extremely practical ideas based on a research study!
-- Mary Margaret Capraro, Professor of Mathematics Education
Discussions on the corequisite model for entry level mathematics courses has been at the forefront of post-secondary mathematics education for nearly a decade. In this book, Dr. Cribbs uses case studies and provides a research-based approach to how corequisite math classes are taught and the wide variety of models that exist. This is a great read and inspires corequisite math instructors to really think about their approach to closing mathematical knowledge gaps for students. This book will change mindsets about corequisite math classes.
-- Jennifer Whitfield, Professor of Mathematics
If you are sincere about student success, this book is a must-read. The author provides a contrasting perspective of the pros and cons of implementing a mandated corequisite model. As a learning & development professional, I found it particularly interesting to learn about how the model impacted job satisfaction for the faculty members. This book highlights the tremendous value of professional development specific to the campus or university.
-- Tasha Bennett, Learning and Development Supervisor
