Teaching Assistant Professional Development
June 2012 - July 2013 (East Lansing, MI)
I was one of the organizers for a TA professional development in Calculus concerned with improving pedagogical practice in the classroom, In order for our TAs to grow, we help them see different aspects of pedagogy and allow them to formulate their own teaching philosophy. This project is ongoing, with the hope of having funding continue through 2014, and is the collaboration between the CREATE for STEM Institute and the Mathematics Department at Michigan State University.

Innovate + Educate Gadsden Hub Professional Development
October 12th, 19th, and 26th (Sunland Park, NM)
At this professional development, we immersed the teachers with their own students. The first day was a full day's lesson on ratio done by Dr. Karen Trujillo and I separately. The second day we split our lesson, with the teachers now teaching half of the day. The last day was taught by our teachers, with our supervision, and the whole development was a success.
