Abstract

To develop a variety of new research-based practices, our mathematics department implements annual faculty learning communities (FLC). In Fall 2021, five faculty members participated in an FLC focused on learning about growth mindset in undergraduate mathematics education research and strategies for helping our students foster a growth mindset in mathematics. In this session, we have two focuses: on the mindset tasks and on the setup and use of an FLC. Participants will engage in mindset activities we are adapting and implementing in our courses, learn about our experiences implementing them, and identify ways in which they can facilitate similar activities.
