Publication Type: Interactive Dialogue Abstract: Presenter 2 (Table 2) will describe how service learning is incorporated into the mathematics education program via CSE 406: Curriculum in Secondary Mathematics. Many future and practicing teachers have little experience teaching students with special needs, particularly in the middle grades where such students often struggle in math as they transition into high school. Pre-service math teachers in CSE 406 spend 15 hours in an inclusion math classroom completing a variety of activities that are supplemented with in-class activities; tutor students with special needs in an after school program; and, spend 5 hours working with local middle/high school math clubs or helping with local math tournaments. The pre-service teachers maintain a weekly journal (descriptive and reflective) of their experiences and assemble a portfolio of their experiences (e.g., model lesson plans, interviews with students, observations, and innovative instructional strategies). At two points in the semester, students share their experiences through class discussions and case writing. Since service learning has been added to the program, the vast majority of students have reported positive experiences and often cite it as the most rewarding field-based experience in the program.
