2001–2002
Institute for Developing Excellence in Teaching Undergraduate Science and
Mathematics
All seven Collaborative institutions recruited faculty to participate in
the 2001-2002 Institute, which began with two faculty development workshops
held concurrently on May 21-25, 2001 at UIC. Enrollment in the third
Institute was the highest of the three Collaborative Institutes:
17 math faculty and 18 science faculty participated. Further, five
faculty from either the first or the second Institute applied to and were
accepted in the third Institute.
Teaching Science Workshop:
The workshop was organized and run by Maria Varelas, Donald Wink, Yvonne
Harris, and Joe Becker. Representation of the seven Collaborative
institutions was as follows: UIC (1), Olive-Harvey (4), Triton, (3),
Oakton (4), Washington (5), Truman (0), and Harper (1).
Several sessions were presented by guest speakers including: sessions
by past participants about the plans-for-change they had implemented, a
discussion of the Illinois science standards, joint sessions with the mathematics
faculty on gender issues and instructional issues for students with English
as a second language, and a session on evaluation procedures for investigating
the teaching projects. On Thursday, there was a joint poster session
in which six past participants exhibited the projects they had done and
discussed their work with the new participants followed by a dinner for
new participants and former participants to talk with one another.
Teaching Mathematics Workshop:
The workshop was organized and run by Philip Wagreich and Mercedes
McGowen. Representation of the seven Collaborative institutions was
as follows: UIC (6), Olive-Harvey (1), Triton (6), Oakton (1), Washington
(1), Truman (1), and Harper (1).

AY Activities:
The science faculty and the mathematics faculty arranged for four meetings
for the academic year. Following the schedule of the first two years,
the third meeting for each group will be a joint meeting in late January
or early February. Participants will submit their final drafts of
their plans-for-change at the beginning of August.
