Course Coordinator Orientations Toward their Work
Résumé
One of the ways in which university mathematics departments across the United States are making efforts to improve their introductory mathematics courses is by implementing or increasing the level of course coordination. This not only entails creating uniform course elements across different sections but also includes efforts to build a community among the instructors of the course. While many coordinators have the common goal of improving student success, we explore what guides their actions to see this accomplished, what we refer to as their orientation toward coordination. In this paper we introduce and elaborate on two orientations toward coordination that arose from interviews with course coordinators from a variety of institutions across the country. We also discuss the importance of both orientations as they relate to drivers of change.
