The Math TLC was awarded a 4-year, $450,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Education via the Fund for the Improvement for Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE) program. This grant funded the development of a series of workshops to foster adoption and adaptation of the approach by other universities and colleges. The workshops were held on the UW-Stout campus and have been attended by 45 educators and administrators from 30 institutions in 12 states. Materials developed for the workshops are available for use free of charge at this site.
