<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Iā€™m writing this email in my role as a faculty member, and not as department chair.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Over Winter Break 17-18, I read through several books with the goal of re-tooling my Calc II course in Spring 18.  It worked really well, and I ended up implementing some things in my Calc I section  in Fall 18.  Iā€™m teaching Calc I again
 next Fall, and I wanted to go through and look at things again this Summer now that Iā€™ve had some experience with what works well and what doesnā€™t.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Iā€™m wondering how much interest there would be in having an ā€œon-lineā€ reading group this summer, organized through Blackboard, and reading through the book Small Teaching by James Lang:    <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Small-Teaching-Everyday-Lessons-Learning/dp/1118944496">https://www.amazon.com/Small-Teaching-Everyday-Lessons-Learning/dp/1118944496</a></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I found the book very helpful, and itā€™s the one Iā€™m really wanting to re-read.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">What I am particularly interested in is brainstorming with others on the recommendations in the book, in particular addressing the questions of how one might implement things in a college mathematics classroom.  I have ideas, of course,
 but Iā€™m just one person.   It neednā€™t just be for Calculus.  Iā€™m interested in what this looks like in all sorts of mathematical settings.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Let me know if this sounds interesting to you, and I can try to put something together.  It should only be a small time commitment, as the book is not too long and I found it easy (and enjoyable) to read.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">I had a very positive experience in my Calc II course (students clearly did better), but Calc I has a lot more challenges built into it.  Iā€™d love to make progress on addressing some of these in my Fall course.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">This would be an experiment, but Iā€™d love to give it a try.</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal">Thanks!</p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>
