Spring 2020 BIOMAAP Faculty Mentoring Network Application
Deadline extended to December 20, 2019!

Quantitative skills are essential for student success in biology, and math attitudes and anxiety can have strong effects on both persistence and performance. QUBES and BIOQUEST are pleased to offer a networking and professional development opportunity from January– May 2020 for faculty interested in increasing their undergraduate students' success by alleviating math anxiety. This faculty mentoring network will familiarize faculty with information on how math attitudes and design of the learning environment can impact biology students. Participants will explore a range of tools demonstrated to address math attitudes and anxiety and adapt them to use in their own classrooms.
