What is MOD? • A group of math teachers on call who: • Can give mini-math lessons as they fit into your lesson • Can complete the math lesson in one visit • Can make connections for you and your students
Why do this? • Help Non-math faculty who have requested assistance with math portions of lessons. • Help students make connections across disciplines. • Model professional collaboration for our students.
