| | | Live Webcast | Many students arrive in college with a fixed idea of what math is and convinced that they are not good at it. Brigitte Lahme, professor and chair, and Nick Dowdall, stretch program coordinator, along with colleagues in the department of mathematics and statistics at Sonoma State University, have incorporated strategies for helping students to develop a mathematical growth mindset in year-long, entry-level math courses. In this interactive webcast, they share examples of activities and targeted interventions that provide students with experiences to help them change their beliefs to:
- Math is a collaborative endeavor.
- Making mistakes is essential to learning.
- Everybody can learn math at a high level.

| | | Live Webcast | The expansion of mathematics pathways and the addition of co-requisite/stretch courses does not need to result in a decrease in rigor but can provide the opportunity to set new and different, equally rigorous, expectations. In this webinar, participants explore the meaning of rigor in mathematics and discuss strategies for deepening learning and perhaps even raising expectations in first-year mathematics/quantitative reasoning courses.

| | | Live Webcast | In recent years, a new article or book has appeared every few weeks on the importance of fostering growth mindsets, resilience, and belonging in today's students. How can college educators translate this research into practice? What difference do these psychological factors make in college math classrooms anyway? In this two-hour webinar, participants explore strategies to foster growth mindsets, build resilience, and increase belonging in mathematics/quantitative reasoning classrooms. Resources for addressing psychological factors in course design and daily instruction are available here. This webcast was facilitated by Paula Talley from the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas at Austin.

| | Standards-Based Grading: Enhancing Learning in Math through Assessment | Live Webcast | Assessment practices can have positive as well as unintended negative effects on student learning. In contrast to traditional grading systems, standards-based grading encourages students to see learning as an iterative process and to adopt a growth mindset. In this webcast, Dr. Adam Glesser, Associate Professor of Mathematics at California State University, Fullerton shares his motivation for adopting a standards-based approach to assessment, provides detailed explanation of the system he has refined over eight years, and reviews the advantages and disadvantages of basing students’ grades on the learning they have demonstrated by the end of the term.

| | Grading as Effective Teaching in Mathematics | Live Webcast | Can grades and grading systems do more than measure student learning? Can they be designed to improve student learning? In this webcast, Sharona Krinksy, Lecturer in the Mathematics Deparment at California State University, Los Angeles will share how she uses mastery-based grading and backward design in pre-calculus and calculus courses to achieve higher levels of engagement and more focused learning. She will also outline how she has incorporated thoughtful assessment into the redesign of the general education statistics course that CSU Los Angeles will offer with co-requisite support in the fall. Participants will learn the benefits of allowing students to reassess to demonstrate mastery of standards and discuss the challenges of implementing mastery-based grading at scale.

| | | Live Webcast | Those who teach courses intended for non-math majors know that affects - anxiety, motivation, and confidence, for example - have a strong influence on the success of the students in those courses. Do some matter more than others? How should we think about affects in order to address them? And how can we gauge success of our efforts to transform students' affects toward mathematics? In this presentation, Dr. Wes Maciejewski reviews his research studying affects of students enrolled in developmental math, demonstrates approaches for identifying, addressing and measuring affects, and leads a discussion on how we can improve students' relationships with mathematics.

| | | Live Webcast | To promote equitable student learning, departments are exploring the idea of coordinating across multiple sections of foundational courses. Successfully coordinated courses require careful consideration of multiple factors, including leadership structure, design of syllabi for multiple instructors, creation of course materials for different teaching and learning styles, continuous professional development, and consistent assessment. In this webcast, Dr. Kristina Ruiz-Mesa shares practices she has developed for coordinating the general education oral communications course at Cal State Los Angeles and leads discussions of the opportunities and challenges of coordinated courses.
