The photos posted below showcase some of the great events that occurred last semester in our department. The first photo is of The Hot Chocolate Café (also known as my office) where students can come and warm up and chat on a cold day! The second photo is of my students at the Pennsylvania Council of Teachers of Math conference in November. There are long descriptions of both of these events below. The last photo shows an advising sessions with our Student PSEA President. This semester is off to a great start. It is amazing to me how crazy my days have become just two weeks into the semester. Our big departmental project this semester includes revising our education curriculum to meet the new Pennsylvania Department of Education Competencies for Teacher Education Programs. The new curriculum is already shaping up nicely and will prove to be very comprehensive in scope. We are additionally excited about providing our students with many opportunities to engage in classroom observations and teaching early in their college career.
