. TheEmerging Scholars Program involved students solving challenging calculus 1 problems inworkshops in which trained graduate students facilitated the problem-solving process usingSocratic questioning and offering help when necessary. Subsequent research by Treismanindicated that offering freshmen a non-threatening, small-group but challenging environment toexplore math concepts impacts participants' success in these subjects and motivates them topersist [10], [11], [12].Funded by the National Science Foundation, the PLTL model was first developed for GeneralChemistry at the City College of New York in the early 1990’s and later extended to math,biology and engineering courses. The PLTL model has become a nationally recognized andreplicated model of
