Reviews

What do you get when gifted teachers decide to write a book? You get a book that speaks to the reader and inspires learning - as opposed to a 'text' that seeks to show off the knowledge of the authors. This book was written by gifted teachers speaking to the student and learner - only. The result is a clear and uncluttered path to knowledge. -Alyson Muff, University of Maryland

Mathematics educators will find a variety of instructional ideas to implement in their classrooms, whether they be fully online or hybrid, addressing the most pressing issues we face when teaching mathematics. - Tiffany DePriter, University of Maryland Global Campus


Author Information

"James P. Howard, II is a scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. Previously, he worked for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as an internal consultant on statistical computing. He has also been a consultant to numerous government agencies. Additionally, he has taught mathematics, statistics, and public affairs since 2010. He has a Ph.D. in public policy from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. John F. Beyers, PhD, is Program Chair and Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Maryland Global Campus (formerly UMUC). Dr Beyers leads a global department of 200+ faculty to serve the educational needs of over 20,000 non-traditional, underrepresented undergraduate students globally. He is responsible for new program development, curriculum planning, teaching effectiveness and Learning Outcomes Assessment. Prior to his current position, Dr Beyers was the Associate Director for the Center of Distance Education at Johns Hopkins University. Dr Beyers has an extensive academic background as a faculty member and leader of one of the largest online mathematics and statistics departments in the country. While earning a PhD in mathematics education from American University (his dissertation was the first to earn ""pass with distinction"" in over two decades), Dr Beyers began his career in innovative education as Research Coordinator on the NCTM Standards 2000Project, which resulted in the national standards document Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM, 2000). He later worked with post-secondary students and faculty at Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Distance Education on innovative distance education models to determine how difficult/easy is it for faculty to embed or integrate technologies into a course and in harmony with their pedagogic model. Dr Beyers has been recognized for his efforts as an innovative academic leader in higher education. In 2012, he received the UMUC Presidential Award and the University System of Maryland’s Faculty Fellowship Award from the Chancellor’s Office. In 2007, he received the Adelle F Robertson National Educator of the Year Award (UPCEA) and in 2006, he received the Alexander Charters Mid-Atlantic Region Educator of the Year Award (UPCEA). Dr Beyers has published and presented extensively on the topics of course redesign, adaptive and accelerated learning models, distance learning, and mathematics education. His current interest is focused on how adaptive learning can be used to deepen the quality of faculty-student engagement and enable development of higher order thinking skills. Dr Beyers has an extensive network of academic colleagues and adaptive learning vendors to establish an Adaptive Resources Community (ARC)."
