"I highly recommend that all potential and current graduate students, as well as their faculty supervisors check out the Graduate Student Resources on the Web at: http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Edanhorn/graduate.html. It has a wealth of information on all aspects of the graduate student experience with excellent links to additional resources. [This resource contains] two excerpts from the posting, "So long, and thanks for the Ph.D.!" by Ronald T. Azuma, found at the above site. The first excerpt is on initiative and the second on tenacity, both essential personality traits for success in graduate school and beyond."   less

Building on local resources, networks, and projects, the Colorado PhysTEC initiative will create an integrated program to: support the (re-)vitalization of an undergraduate major track in physics and teaching through reforms in undergraduate introductory courses, increased access into teaching for physics majors, and a new advanced physics course in Teaching and Learning Physics, support efforts to more thoroughly mix reformed pedagogy into departmental practice, partner with the School of Education, the STEM-TP collaborative, the CPU-II PET Project, and local schools to create and maintain a continuum of K-12 teacher preparation that begins in the college of Arts and Sciences, partner with other CU initiatives and local schools to create opportunities for school teachers to collaborate in educational at the university and in the schools, a conduct research studies within and evaluations of these coordinated activity systems.   less

"[This] posting is a news summary of a recent Stanford University Faculty Senate meeting on the future of online learning at Stanford. Among other things, Stanford President Gerhard Casper said, "I fear that the faculty in general is not worrying enough about the rapid changes technology will bring to the classroom." Obviously, many other universities are facing similar problems and for this reason I felt you would find the report of interest."   less

STEM-Colorado offers extraordinary opportunities for leadership training to University of Colorado undergraduates interested in science and mathematics education at all levels. Our mission is to address the number one priority recommendation of the National Academy for American global competitiveness in the 21st century: "Increase America¡¯s talent pool by vastly improving K-12 science and mathematics education" and recommendation #3: "Make the United States the most attractive setting in which to study and perform research so that we can develop, recruit, and retain the best and brightest students, scientists, and engineers from within the United States and throughout the world." Supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation, STEM Colorado is designed to recruit, support, and prepare University of Colorado undergraduates to become leaders in K-12 science and math education.   less
