A Note from NExT co-Guru, Chris Stevens:
Project NExT: New Experiences in Teaching
Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a professional development program
for new and recent Ph.D.s in the mathematical sciences (including pure and
applied mathematics, statistics, operations research, and mathematics
education). It addresses all aspects of an academic career: improving the
teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, and
participating in professional activities. It also provides the participants
with a network of peers and mentors as they assume these responsibilities. Each
year, about sixty faculty members from colleges and universities throughout
the country are selected to participate in a workshop preceding the MAA summer
meeting, activities during the summer MAA meetings and the Joint Mathematics
Meetings in January, and an electronic discussion network. Faculty for
whom the 2004-2005 academic year will be the first or second year of full-time
teaching (post Ph.D.) at the college/university level are invited to apply to
become Project NexT Fellows.
The application deadline is April 16, 2004. Here's the application and
more information.
Project NExT is a program of the Mathematical Association of America. It
receives major funding from The ExxonMobil Foundation, with additional funding
from The Dolciani-Halloran Foundation, The American Mathematical Society, The
Educational Advancement Foundation, The American Statistical Association, The
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, The Association of Mathematics
Teacher Educators, The Association for Symbolic Logic, and the Greater MAA Fund.
