This Teacher’s Enrichment Workshop (TEW) aims to equip college and university mathematics teachers with the necessary knowledge, resources, and skills to effectively educate students in the basic subjects they teach. The workshop will cover important concepts in Basic Number Theory and Basic Linear Algebra, with emphasis on conceptual clarity and effective teaching methodologies. It is targeted at teachers from colleges and universities in Raipur and surrounding areas. The ogramme will include expert lectures as well as interactive discussion sessions to facilitate clarification of doubts and exchange of ideas among participants.
Please note that TEW is meant only for local college teachers. The lectures in this workshop cover specific topics that are relevant to the teacher’s classroom instructions. The length of the TEW is 6 days.An important component of this program is the discussion hour during which the teachers will have opportunities to get their doubts cleared.
