How can we help students use the knowledge and skills of mathematics to understand the world around them and take informed action in their communities?
This in-depth course follows the structure of our best selling book, Learning That Transfers. It lasts 8 weeks, taking approximately one hour per week to complete.
During this cohort model, content is released weekly so that we all stay at a similar pace, but all activities are completely asynchronous. Optional live calls for connection and Q and A included. View the course syllabus here.
Some familiarity with conceptual learning and transfer is recommended before taking this course, but beginners who are eager to learn are very welcomed to join!
Participants can choose to aim for a level 1, level 2, or level 3 badge, by completing one ore more of the following:
Course finishers receive a certificate noting 15 hours and 1.5 continuing education credits (CEU), plus a Learning That Transfers badge to use in emails, resume, etc. as well as your name listed on our website (with your permission).
We hope you'll join us! Group discount for 4+ participants.
Please reach out with any questions: [email protected]
Participants have access to the course material for an additional three weeks after the course is complete.
