[Numeracy 87] Re: Launch of new online PD course--IntroductiontoCollege Transition Math

I got an e-mail about this earlier in the day, and one of the links I was looking at (don't ask me which one at this moment) or maybe even the original e-mail said the cost is $249 for the course.

        Is it me, or is there no charge for this other than the book?

        Course Description and Objectives

        You will reflect on your own and your students’ math backgrounds, examine and experience the college placement test your students take and try out math activities and exercises you can use in your classroom in preparation for determining what math knowledge and skills you  want to present to your own college transition students.

          a.. identify your own attitudes toward math and develop strategies for helping your students understand their attitudes and build on their strengths,

          c.. explain ways to build your students’ skills in math for a successful college transition, and 
          d.. develop (or revise) a curriculum outline for your own math class. 
        Course Overview and Schedule: Available online at: http://professionalstudiesae.worlded.org/index.html#ctmath 

        Course Format and Schedule: facilitated, online. Throughout this course you will engage in self-paced activities and readings, as well as asynchronous discussions with the facilitator and course participants.
