Hello All,
If you are interested in providing a free professional development short
course for your math and/or science faculty (adjuncts and TA's as well),
please read the announcement below. If interested in organizing a short
course soon, please contact me. We are also taking grant applications for
summer courses.
Thanks for reading! Please pass the information along to a colleague.

The Ohio State University Technology College Short Course Program
Academic Year & Summer Short Courses for Colleges & Universities in the
United States
The College Short Course (CSC) Program (part of the Teachers Teaching with
Technology Program (T3)) was founded by Professors Bert Waits and Frank
Demana from The Ohio State University. Courses are designed to enhance the
teaching and learning of mathematics and science using hand-held
technology. Over 250 courses have been taught in 30 states to over 6,000
teachers. You may select to host and organize professional development
courses from 1 to 5-days at your college or university. The CSC Program
offers a variety of hand-held, technology-based short courses from
developmental math through calculus, math teacher-educator, and
beginning-level science courses. Available at this time are the courses
DEV, ALGT, PCALC-CALC, CAS-CALC I, CAS-CALC II, STATS, MTE-E, MTE-M, MTE-H,
GEOMATH, M2S, and SCIENCE. Customized combinations of these are also
available. For information about full course descriptions, the short course
prospectus, the CSC Program and the mini-grant application form, see
http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/shortcourse.
The College Short Course Program is endorsed by the American Mathematical
Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC)
Academic year courses of 1, 1½, 2, or 3 days are FREE to the host college.
The Ohio State University grant will pay the instructor honorarium and all
instructor expenses. The Ohio State Technology College Short Course Program
will also provide course materials. The Texas Instruments Workshop Loan
Program will loan the host college all necessary equipment. The host
college is responsible for local arrangements.
The expected deadline for summer mini-grant applications is 4 months in
advance of the course dates requested, and for academic year courses it is
about 6 weeks before the course dates requested.
A primary difference between academic year and summer courses is the
intended audience. Summer courses have typically drawn a variety of
participants from several states and many colleges and universities as well
as selected high school faculty. The intent of the academic year courses is
to provide professional development for mathematics and science faculty at
a particular college or small group of colleges. In addition to full-time
faculty, we encourage participation by adjunct faculty, graduate students,
and fourth-year undergraduate students. High school teachers may
participate as well.
