Abstract

As calculus instruction moves further from lecture-based instruction toward student-centered pedagogy, support services must align with the changing goals for the course. This paper describes the work of a department as they collectively design and redesign a co-requisite Calculus I course, in an effort to better promote students' academic and social integration into active, student-centered calculus classrooms. We highlight the inclusion of more cognitively demanding and group-worthy tasks, re-negotiation of support for procedures and fundamental concepts, and promotion of collaborative participation. Our discussion is supplemented with reflections from faculty, graduate student instructors, and students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
