[PSTUM-list] PSTUM Listserv

PSTUM List, It has once again been several months since the Preparing and Supporting Teachers of Undergraduate Mathematics (PSTUM) listserv has seen any traffic. I've been busy with my new position at the Vanderbilt Center for Teaching and haven't been able to see the list with questions as much as I would have liked. I started this list in part because of the sense of community and sharing of ideas I've found on the POD Listerv (http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/pod.html <http://listserv.nd.edu/archives/pod.html> ), the listserv for members of the Professional & Organizational Development Network--a professional group for people like me who work with faculty to develop and refine their teaching skills. It seems to me that too many of us who are training TAs and helping math faculty improve their teaching do so without relying on the experiences and good ideas of colleagues at other institutions. I hope you'll see this listserv as one way of not having to "reinvent" the wheel when it comes to TA and faculty development at your school. To that end, see my next posting for a question to get the conversation rolling again.
