While I have taught in a flipped classroom before with better results than a traditional lecture style course, I feel I can do even better if I were to incorporate Inquiry Based Learning into the way I teach. The model popularized by Dr. R.L. Moore at University of Texas has been heralded as one of the best ways of teaching not just Mathematics, but a course in any discipline. In an IBL course, students are guided with particularly chosen problems to see repeating patterns and draw inferences from those patterns to come up with conjectures about how those patterns could be applied to the general cases. This method requires very careful planning of the course material and presentation in order to come up with questions that can foster such thinking from the students. I think the workshop will be extremely instrumental in helping me organize the material for future courses or at least learn framing techniques that I could use in the future to develop other courses in a similar manner. Besides the obvious personal benefits from professional development, as an academic, I owe it to the College and more importantly to the students at PBSC to keep finding new and better ways to improve the acquisition of knowledge and retention of it not just until shortly after the final exam but to develop a long term understanding of the material that students can take with them into other courses or other institutions when they transfer. I grew up in India where I was brought up in the lecture tradition. Naturally, I assumed that this was the best way to teach other students because it was the way I knew best. As a student myself, I found myself to remember the material best when I had a chance to pre read the material before going to class and I found courses where the instructors lead discussions as opposed to just lecturing the entire time the best experience. I think I can share the same enthusiasm for learning mathematics with students at PBSC and change the unjust image that my lovely discipline has attained over the years. Mathematics can be immensely beautiful and more often than not, it is us instructors that at times struggle with sharing our love for the subject with students and get them excited about learning for the sake of learning, not just to prepare for a test. I believe this workshop will provide me another avenue of sharing that feeling of enjoyment that I hope to foster amongst the students at PBSC. It wouldn't be a terribly huge leap of logic to think that a student that enjoys learning will likely be more engaged in other coursework at PBSC as well leading to better completion and retention rates.

Attending this workshop will allow me to contribute directly to the College Strategic Plan in the following manner - 1. The College will advance a constant commitment to excellence in teaching and learning - The very purpose of wanting to attend this workshop is so that I may improve my teaching abilities by framing the course in a way that is better for students to learn. Numerous studies have shown that students learn and retain the information far better when they arrive at conclusions themselves instead of just being spoon fed the information. I think the IBL model of teaching could really improve student learning compared to the traditional lecture classroom. I hope that atttending this workshop will allow me to do so in an effective manner. 2. The College will respond to the current and emerging educational needs of the community with innovative educational opportunities - While IBL is not a new method of teaching, it is still not the most prevelant mode of




imparting information to students. With more and more studies supporting an inquiry based learning environment in various capacities, I owe it to my students to find the best and most effective ways of helping them gain the knowledge I have. I very strongly believe that a carefully developed blend of IBL and the flipped classroom model will be most beneficial to the specific student population at PBSC.


I shall be present to conduct the lecture on Monday, June 25, 2018. I shall plan to have a test scheduled for Wednesday, June 27, 2018 that any substitute can administer. I shall work with Associate Dean Hamadeh, Chairperson Sharp and Chairperson Abbondanza to arrange for a substitute for that day.

One of the mission of the college is to enrich and create a "dynamic teaching and learning environment."

At last year’s conference, I attended a workshop on supporting high school to college transitions. I used the knowledge gained in that session to create the “Librarians Connect for Student Success” initiative. In August, I presented a session to secondary librarians from the School District of Palm Beach County during their pre-school conference and have continued to work with them throughout the school year. This is an important area in the mission of the ALA and I plan to attend additional workshops addressing how we can support students before they arrive on our campus. In addition, I will prioritize sessions related to serving first gen students, improving information literacy instruction, reader's advisory, and emerging technologies as they closely relate to my responsibilities at PBSC. I will use this experience and knowledge to help the library better meet the needs of our students, faculty, and staff.
