Westminster Faculty Forum Fall Session Concludes

Joyce Hoellein, lecturer of education at Westminster College, concludes the fall sessions of Faculty Forum Wednesday, Dec. 8, at 11:45 a.m. in the Sebastian Mueller Theater located in the McKelvey Campus Center.

 Hoellein's topic, "What Math Are You Teaching My Child/Grandchild," examines the questions: What changes in math instruction have occurred since you were in school?  What does it mean that children are being taught in a problem solving approach, with manipulatives, literature and writing?  Would I even recognize an elementary math classroom now? What exactly are math standards?

 Hoellein, who has been with Westminster College since 1994, earned her undergraduate degree from West Virginia Wesleyan College, and her M.Ed. from Edinboro University.

 The event is free and open to the public.  For more information, contact Hoellein at (724) 946-7185 or e-mail hoellej@westminster.edu.

Faculty forum, established in 1990, serves as a venue for the exchange of ideas and information among Westminster College faculty.  Speakers present their research, teaching ideas, lectures, performances, special programs, and uses of technology to keep faculty informed about the work of colleagues from many disciplines.
