Professional Development & Resources

In March of 2016, MAA hosted the Workshop on the Role of Calculus in the Transition from High School to College Mathematics to bring together a group of high school teachers, mathematicians, mathematics and science education researchers, state and district supervisors of mathematics, and representatives of organizations with a stake in the issues surrounding calculus in high school. This workshop explored a wide range of issues around calculus in high school, from access to the effects of the pressure to enroll under-prepared students to the impact of high school calculus on subsequent success in college.
A joint publication by MAA and NCTM of papers from the workshop is available here.
