May 12, 2025

 The Gelfand Center is excited to be a part of Carnegie Mellon University's new partnership with Schoolhouse.world!

Our director, Mimi Wertheimer, will be teaching a "new for-credit course — Tutoring, Teaching and Leading Through Education — [that] will launch in Pittsburgh in the 2025-26 academic year, beginning with a focus on mathematics. It gives undergraduates hands-on experience tutoring on the Schoolhouse.world platform while learning about the broader impact of mentoring and the role of peer instruction in shaping learning outcomes." 

Learn more about the many aspects of this exciting new partnership here, and watch Sal Khan's annoucement at commencement here!
