Equip your full- and part-time mathematics faculty with the curricular, pedagogical, and technology tools to ensure that all students will have the mathematics they need to succeed in the 21st century. Traveling Workshops are a cost effective way to bring customized professional development workshops to your college or affiliate. There are now five strands of traveling workshops:
Why should my college schedule an AMATYC Traveling Workshop?
Do you have a “Faculty Development Day” that you are organizing? A customized Traveling Workshop can fit your needs.

Beyond Crossroads Workshops |  |
Traveling the Crossroads Workshops help you and your colleagues implement recommendations from the CROSSROADS IN MATHEMATICS: Standards for Introductory College Mathematics Before Calculus in your classrooms. These are hands-on, interactive workshops based on the needs of full-time and part-time faculty at your college.
Some of the topics are:

Summer Beyond Crossroads Workshops for 2008 Implementing the standards outlined in Beyond Crossroads means making a commitment to continuous improvement in instruction to enhance student learning. Embracing the call to continuous improvement is a key component of professional growth. The attendees of these workshops will use the Beyond Crossroads Implementation Cycle to develop, assess, and improve projects of their choice.Information about attending the Beyond Crossroads summer workshop in Colorado Springs can be found at The BC Way: Embracing Change for Continuous Improvement |
Registration information can be found at Requesting a Workshop.
| College Algebra Workshops |
Currently, AMATYC has received funding from the NSF to provide support for faculty who wish to reinvigorate their college algebra course. College Algebra Traveling Workshops are tailored to meet the needs of the faculty who want to explore best practices for their college algebra course.
Topics for these workshops include:

AMATYC Statistics Traveling Workshops AMATYC and CAUSE are looking for single colleges, coalitions of colleges, and affiliates to host a funded Statistics Traveling Workshop. AMATYC and the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) have partnered to present six AMATYC Traveling Workshops on teaching Introductory Statistics (the first statistics service course). These one-day workshops will focus on current strategies, resources, and research about teaching and learning introductory statistics. Participants will discuss and develop classroom activities and assessments aligned with both the recommendations in Beyond Crossroads and the American Statistical Association endorsed Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE; www.amstat.org/education/gaise). CAUSE through a National Science Foundation grant will fund the travel, lodging and stipend for the facilitator. As part of the NSF grant’s evaluation of the workshop, participants are expected to complete a survey before and after the workshop. |

| Teacher Preparation Workshops |  |
Traveling Teacher Preparation Workshops offer institutions a way to address issues of mathematics content, technology, pedagogy, research, and assessment for future teachers. These workshops focus on the mathematics and technological preparation of prospective K-8 teachers at two-year colleges and the broader issue of two-year college involvement in teacher preparation.
Topics covered include, as appropriate to mathematics courses for prospective teachers:
| Technology Workshops |  |
Traveling Technology Workshops offer hands-on workshops using current technology for undergraduate mathematics instruction. Workshop presenters stress the application of the technology to instruction in undergraduate mathematics courses. Sample classroom materials and bibliographies are presented at each workshop.
Our instructors can train your faculty to teach with:
