Dr. Eddie Webb and Keegan Choffat sit down with MCC Mathematics Faculty Jennifer Caldwell and Roxanne Klassen to discuss their student-centered teaching philosophies and the unique diversity within the community college classroom. The group explores strategies for overcoming the "math person" myth, the importance of embracing mistakes for growth, and authentic assessment methods such as oral exams and project-based learning. Additionally, they cover the integration of artificial intelligence in education, the history of mathematics, and the perspective that teaching is a continuous journey of lifelong learning.
This academic year, Dr. Eddie Webb and Keegan Choffat of the NMLE at Mesa Community College will be highlighting our outstanding faculty from across the district and the impactful work they do for our students and our community. Enjoy!
