Kellogg Community
College has been awarded
a $593,783 grant by
the National Science
Foundation for professional
development programs
aimed at improving math
instruction at Michigan
community colleges.
The grant project – titled
“State-wide Professional
Development to Promote
Active Learning in
Mathematics for Michigan
Community Colleges” – is a col-
laborative partnership between KCC
and the Michigan Mathematical
Association of Two-Year Colleges
(MichMATYC).
The project will be run by KCC
Math Professor David Tannor, prin-
cipal investigator and MichMATYC
president, with Henry Ford College
Math Professor and MichMATYC
Secretary/Treasurer Sam Bazzi as co-
principal investigator, a KCC press
release stated.
According to Tannor, the initiative
is designed “to increase Michigan
community college mathematics
instructors’ awareness and use of
evidence-based instruction;
train and mentor instruc-
tors on how to implement
and sustain active learning
strategies in their courses;
and explore relationships
between instructors’ self-
efficacy for active learning
and its implementation in
mathematics courses.”
The project will involve
the creation and execu-
tion of two training pro-
grams for math instructors
focused on active learning, mentoring
and peer observation, as well as the
development of a statewide com-
munity of faculty learners through
the use of “Teaching Squares,” a
cohort-based program through which
a group of four instructors work
together through peer observation to
improve their teaching practice.
The three-and-a-half-year project
began this month and is estimated to
run through February 2028.
The grant was awarded as part of
the NSF’s $14.5 million Innovation
in Two-Year College in STEM
Education (ITYC) program.
