Past Meetings: Current News: See 2019 NNN Meeting. Past NNN Annual Meetings: Summary Past Events: Details 2015 Annual Meeting The NNN meeting was held in conjunction with the AACU’s Crossing Boundaries - Transforming STEM Education conference held November 12-14 in Seattle, WA. NNN hosted a workshop and a conference session. Workshop 3: Quantitative Reasoning Supporting STEM Success: Changing your Campus Culture and Curriculum Participants will be introduced to Quantitative Reasoning (QR) and discuss the creation of QR centers and curriculum to support STEM students and faculty. The algebra dominated curriculum of developmental math is being questioned and QR courses and programs are replacing it. Workshop leaders will discuss creating and running a QR program that scaffolds STEM curriculum and changes the campus culture toward meaningful engagement with mathematics. Participants will engage in concrete QR activities. Eric Gaze, Director of the Quantitative Reasoning Program—Bowdoin College, and President—National Numeracy Network; and Margot Black, Director of the Symbolic and Quantitative Resource Center—Lewis & Clark College
CS 22: Quantitative Reasoning for Higher Education: What does the Research Say? Participants will be introduced to the National Numeracy Network (NNN) and the collective research related to Quantitative Reasoning (QR) found in their journal, Numeracy: http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/numeracy/. The National Numeracy Network (NNN) offers its members a network of individuals, institutions and corporations united by the common goal of quantitative literacy for all citizens. Through national meetings, faculty workshops, research initiatives, and information sharing, the NNN aims to strengthen the capacity of our country in the quantitative areas of business, industry, education, and research across all disciplines. The Network envisions a society in which all citizens possess the power and habit of mind to search out quantitative information, critique it, reflect upon it, and apply it in their public, personal and professional lives. The National Numeracy Network promotes education that integrates quantitative skills across all disciplines and at all levels. To this end the Network supports faculty development, curriculum design, assessment strategies, education research and systemic change. Two NSF supported research projects related to assessment of QR will be shared, with results related to STEM education. Eric Gaze, Director of the QR Program—Bowdoin College Center for Learning and Teaching and President—National Numeracy Network; and Kate Follette, Postdoctoral Scholar, Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology— Stanford University https://www.aacu.org/meetings/stem/15 The 2014 Annual Meeting was on Oct 10th -11th held in Northfield, MN, graciously hosted by Carleton College as part of the celebration of QuIRK's 10-year anniversary. The annual meeting included four workshops, two plenaries, and ample opportunities for collaboration and discussion via a hybrid conference-unconference approach. Coinciding with our annual meeting, there was also an AALAC (Alliance to Advance Liberal Arts Colleges) funded workshop called "Enhancing Quantitative Reasoning Across the Curriculum".
