Abstract

ABSTRACT: In the context of national collaborative efforts to increase the prevalence of active learning strategies in undergraduate precalculus and calculus classrooms, we discuss the context, strategy, and processes used at one university to create change within a mathematics department. We highlight the use of a unified active learning approach and the importance of collaborative practices as leverage for departmental change. We conclude with lessons learned from the first year of implementation.
