| Developmental Mathematics | Division/Department Issues |Innovative Pedagogy Strategies | Mathematics for AAS Programs | Mathematics Intensive/College Mathematics | Placement/Assessment | Teacher Preparation |

Committees are critical to the fulfillment of AMATYC's mission. AMATYC is very grateful
to those individuals who help these committees and AMATYC to serve its members. Volunteers are always welcome. Contact committee chairs if you would like to get involved.

Developmental Mathematics (http://www.devmath.amatyc.org/)

This committee would develop a Traveling Workshop strand on Development Mathematics, sharing best practices for training and mentoring faculty, collect and share syllabi from other developmental courses, identify programs designed to ease the transition from high school to college mathematics, develop better connections with other professional organizations, increase involvement with national policy-making boards on issues relating to developmental mathematics, and provide current resources to address needs identified by the DMC membership.

Chair: Jack Rotman (rotmanj@lcc.edu)
Lansing Community College
419 North Grand
