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 an initial publication agreement with the CBMS and the AMS (who published Friedberg et alia's (2001) 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 for anyone interested in becoming more significantly involved in the project).
