Hello All,
I am very please to announce a college level mathematics/science/math ed
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 nationally recognized college mathematics professors who are
deeply involved in the use of graphing and CAS calculators in their
classrooms. 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
offers free short courses of 1 to 3 days for your math/math ed/science
faculty, adjuncts, graduate students (TA's), or whomever you choose to
invite (including appropriate high school teachers). We will customize the
material to suit your needs, or you may select from our course listing -
see <http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/shortcourse>. Participants will learn
how to use appropriate 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. We require
15 or more participants for academic year courses and 20 or more for summer
courses. The mini-grant application deadline is March 15, 2001 for the
summer 2001 courses and there is no deadline for the academic year short
courses.
Pedagogical, testing, and implementation issues can be 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
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: <http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/shortcourse>.
With Best Regards,
Ed Laughbaum, Associate Director
