Hi,
I am working on a grant proposal aimed at improving college
mathematics teaching and learning through the creation of video-case
tools for teacher-scholar development of mathematics Graduate Teaching
Assistants and new faculty, and for enhancing the professional
development of junior and senior faculty. The project creates a tool
similar to the Integrating Mathematics and Pedagogy (IMAP) Project K-12
materials for teachers. However, among the significant differences
between IMAP and the proposed cases are: (a) the video-case tools and
accompanying text will be developed for an audience with a mastery of
mathematics who have little or no formal training in pedagogy; (b) the
case tools will be sufficiently self-contained that they can be used as
part of a distance-learning course on college teaching; (c) the
materials will include classroom video-clips as well as materials about
out-of-classroom interactions like office hours, email communication,
advising of undergraduate and graduate students, and communicating with
junior and senior colleagues about teaching.
Some field-test agreements are already in place as is a
publication agreement with the CBMS and the AMS (who published
Friedberg et alia's fictionalized case studies for college teaching
book).
I am looking for folks who are interested in field testing
materials, perhaps even testing a case or two on a prototype DVD in
Fall 2005. Also, anyone interested in becoming more significantly
involved in the project is encouraged to contact me directly at

Thanks,
Shandy
