AMATYC 2012 Sessions about the New Life Model

The AMATYC conference this fall (Jacksonville, November 8 to 11) will include at least 5 sessions related to the New Life model, based on a search of the mini-program (http://www.amatyc.org/Events/conferences/2012Jacksonville/miniprogram2012.pdf).

Sessions on New Life work:

Title	Presenter	Day & Time
Bringing New Life to Your Developmental Mathematics	Jack Rotman	Thursday, 9:00 to 9:50am
Ready for New Life in Developmental Math?	Jim Sullivan & Lori Heymans	Friday, 7:50 to 8:40am
New Life Courses: Mathematical Literacy and Transitions	Jack Rotman and members of the New Life Subcommittee	Friday, 1:45 to 9:45pm (workshop)
MLCS: Redesigning a New Pathway for Non-STEM Majors	Kathy Almy & Heather Foes	Thursday, 1:40 to 2:30pm
New Life for Introductory Developmental Mathematics Courses	Loye Henrikson	Saturday, 10:45 to 11:35am

In addition, there is a workshop on the Quantway model (Saturday, 10:45 to 12:45) by faculty of Sinclair Community College (Ed Gallo, Kinga Oliver and James Willis). This Quantway course is very similar to MLCS in content and intent … Quantway colleges have partnered with the Carnegie Foundation to implement a common course and form a community.

I am pleased to see 5 sessions on New Life work, including 3 by people who have implemented a course. If you are able to attend this year’s AMATYC conference, I hope you can fit one or more of these sessions in to your schedule. [If you are not able to attend, some of the conference proceedings will be posted on the AMATYC website.]
