Hello All,
I am very please to announce a college level mathematics/science faculty
professional development program that is endorsed by the American
Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC). The Ohio State
University Technology College Short Course (CSC) Program is the college
division of the international Teachers Teaching with Technology (T3)
Program. The T3 Program was founded by Professors Bert Waits and Frank
Demana from Ohio State. All courses have been developed, and are revised,
by teams of college mathematics professors who are deeply involved in the
use of graphing and CAS calculators in their classrooms - many of whom
are two-year college faculty. Short course emphasis is on enhancing
teaching and learning of mathematics/science and math teacher education
with hand-held calculator technology. The CSC Program has already
provided professional development to well over 4,000-college faculty in
the last five years, and has offered over 150 courses in 30 states.
You might be especially interested in our Academic Year Program which
provides partial funding for short courses of 1 to 3 days for your
math/math ed/science faculty, adjuncts, graduate students (TA=92s), or
whomever you choose to invite (including appropriate high school
teachers). We will customize the material to suit your needs.
Participants will learn how to use Texas Instrument calculators and data
collection devices to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics,
science, or math education at the math level you select. We will provide
the instruction, the materials, and the use of loaner calculators if you
are accepted as a host site. For a course that you organize during the
academic year, your college only need provide the instructor=92s room and
board while at your college. You may also host a course during the summer
for a general audience where you must also pay the travel for the
instructor. We require 15 or more participants for academic year courses
and 20 or more for summer courses. The mini-grant application deadline
has been extended to January 31 for the summer courses and there is no
deadline for applying for academic year short courses.
Pedagogical, testing, and implementation issues can addressed in all
courses, as requested by the host. Academic year courses (1 - 3 days) are
intended for individual or small groups of colleges, and 3 - 5 day summer
1999 courses are intended for wide-based audiences. If you are interested
in hosting a course, budget details, a full course listing, the
mini-grant application form, short course prospectus, and other Program
details are available at:
