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), 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.
