The 2009 Math Faculty retreat will address QEP, CASTL and Learning Outcomes initiatives by faculty showing and sharing best practices in the educational environment.  The presentations at the Retreat will assist faculty by providing ideas for incorporating best practices and Learning Outcomes into their math courses.  The CASTL component of the Retreat will inform faculty about the support available to advance teaching and learning through best practices. Participants will develop a lesson plan in which they will use at least one best practice technique presented, identify the Learning Outcomes that apply to the chosen best practices, and modify the chosen best practices to meet the needs of their students. The lessons produced will be submitted to the facilitators by April 3rd. 

The facilitators will share the lesson plan projects with Department Chairs so that they may be presented at future Department meetings and the QEP Director.
