Dr. Hale wins teaching award (Oct. 27, 2009)
Who : Dr. Margie Hale
Professor Margie Hale has won the Florida section of Mathematical Association of America's 2009 Distinguished Teaching Award and will be the Florida 2010 nominee for one of the nations highest awards for a higher education math teacher. Award-winners must be widely recognized as extraordinary, effective and successful teachers whose teaching has influenced others beyond their own institution, and they must foster curiosity and generate excitement about mathematics in their students.
I try to ask good questions that start students thinking, Hale said of her teaching. I do not give quick answers, but support their thoughts and give them hints. In some classes I assign projects and let students propose ones that interest them. I sometimes ask off-beat, open-ended questions and award a golden Sacagawea dollar for good answers or significant progress.
