The Mathematical Association of America: Innovative Teaching Exchange
The Mathematical Association of America has developed the Innovative Teaching Exchange in order to facilitate the exchange of interesting and compelling teaching resources from a wide range of educators.
Currently, there are about a dozen articles available for consideration here, and they include titles such as “Flowcharting Proofs”, “Engaging Students via In-Class Worksheets”, and “In Search of the Elusive Matrix”. Each article contains information on how to use each exercise in the classroom, and these materials will hopefully inspire readers to submit their own classroom-tested modules or activities.

About Bonnie Gold
Editor of the Innovative Teaching Exchange.She was editor of that same exchange in its earlier incarnation in UME Trends. She teaches at Monmouth University, a "teaching university" on the New Jersey shore. Her A.B. is from the University of Rochester, M.A. from Princeton University, and Ph.D. in mathematical logic from Cornell University.
Soon after completing her thesis, her interests turned to philosophy of mathematics, in which she continues to work when she can find the time. However, in recent years she has been very involved undergraduate mathematics education, having served on the MAA's Committee on the Teaching of Undergraduate Mathematics (of which she is now chair) and the Professional Development Committee (and is chairing its subcommittee on Developmental Mathematics), and is working, with several others, on a book on assessment in undergraduate mathematics.

Short Courses for Mathematics Teachers
Math Teacher Link is a web-based professional development program for mathematics teachers. It provides short courses on the use of technology in teaching mathematics.
All of the courses can be taken for Continuing Education Units. Some of the course modules can be taken for graduate credit from the University of Illinois. Several of the courses can be applied to an online Master's Degree in Educational Technology.

Teacher Resources/Mathematics
A video library for high school math teachers; 20 video programs (from 10 to 30 minutes in length) and guide.See how high school teachers use the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics standards and group learning to reach a broad range of students. In this library, teachers demonstrate the fine art of guiding students through reasoning and problem solving. Students comment on the new way of learning, often expressing frustration as well as the sense of accomplishment they feel when working through problems with peers.
