Math Comes Full Circle for Quality Class Students

Spijkerboer

Usually, students go overseas to study with international math education expert Lambrecht Spijkerboer, organizer of the Quality Class, a 10-day exchange program for teacher-students. But this week the Netherlands professor is coming to Arcadia to talk about ideas for teaching math and to visit with some Arcadia students who studied with him in Poland last year.

Spijkerboer’s visits Arcadia on Friday, Feb. 13, from 4 to 5 p.m. in Grey Towers Castle Conference Room. Students, faculty and staff are invited to the workshop to discuss ideas for teaching math. Spijkerboer, who is on his way to Argentina, also is attending a graduate course on Wednesday, Feb. 11, and offering a workshop organized by the three undergraduates—Courtney Knowlton, Jimmie Malamut and Rebeca Gonzalez—who attended the Quality Class in Poland last summer. They have set up a Facebook page with more information about the event. Read more.
