Pre-service teachers will work with college peers enrolled in self-paced preparatory mathematics classes to
- develop understanding of how math learners grow and develop
- demonstrate understanding of the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of college preparatory mathematics
- develop skills necessary to make college preparatory mathematics accessible and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content
