Related Activities
Beginning this year the CMS Summer Meeting will be preceeded by a
workshop intended specifically for Mathematics/Statistics faculty who
have recently begun their academic careers. This workshop is a key
component to
Project NExTMAC
("New Experiences in
Teaching Mathematics Across Canada")
which aims to provide information and
resources that will enable junior faculty to become better and more
effective teachers of mathematics and statistics. The workshop, which
will focus on pedagogical and professional development issues, will
take place on Friday June 14th. Sessions for the workshop are still
being finalised, but are anticipated to include topics such as:
- time management issues, such as how to balance teaching, research,
and committee work, personal life and professional life, etc,
- teaching strategies, such as cooperative learning, active learning,
etc.
- challenges in the classroom
- issues related to teaching introductory courses
- preparing for promotion and tenure
- mathematicians teaching statistics
- information about NSERC and preparing grant applications and renewals
The workshop will involve a combination of panel discussions,
round-table discussions, as well as lecture-style presentations. One
thing we are trying to encourage is discussion between junior faculty
in a setting where they can freely share their ideas, experiences, and
concerns with their peers from other Canadian institutions.
For registered participants of the CMS Summer Meeting, there will be
no workshop registration fee. However, all participants Should
preregister for the workshop in one of three ways.
