Invitation to apply – BSME Fall 2020 Online Program
Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Education (BSME) is a study abroad program in mathematics education. BSME participants explore the Hungarian pedagogy, in which a strong and explicit emphasis is placed on problem solving, mathematical creativity, and communication. Here’s a flyer that describes the pedagogy a bit more.
BSME will run an online program for the Fall 2020 session, in which students may take 1 to 5 courses. We will issue credits that are transferable to students’ home institutions. Given the strong demand for teachers to learn about online instruction in the current climate, the session will have a dual focus on the Hungarian pedagogy and online instruction.
Attached is a letter intended for students, telling them about BSME and encouraging them to apply. Please share it with your math and/or math education students. Note that a BSME participant doesn’t necessarily have to be pursuing a secondary teaching license—a genuine interest in teaching and mathematics is what we’re looking for.
The application for the Fall 2020 session is due on August 21. It is reviewed on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to apply early. More information, including the online application, can be found at www.bsmeducation.com. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
