The class just began and I am really enjoying it. The class is for parents, teachers and of course, homeschoolers. It is designed to make you a better teacher in math by changing the student's perspective on math. She will be designing a similar course for students after the summer.
- This course is free.
- It is from Stanford Math professor, Jo Boaler.
- It runs from July 14, 2013 through September 27, 2013.
- If you complete at least 85% of the sessions and activities, you will receive a Statement of Accomplishment.
- If you don't have the time or energy to do the activities, you can still just watch the videos and contemplate the questions she asks without responding.
