9455163 This three-year project will extend an existing calculus coalition to create a network of two year colleges and comprehensive universities that will reform their calculus curricula. The existing coalition in southeastern Texas will expand in three stages to include institutions throughout the South Central states. The extended coalition will grow from intensive nine-day institutes and will be fostered by mentoring, electronic mail, follow-through workshops, and a newsletter. The coalition will use the materials and methods of the Calculus for Comprehensive Universities and Two-Year Colleges (CUTYC) Project, in which two-person faculty teams at Sam Houston State University and North Harris, San Jacinto Central, and Tomball Colleges have written student activities and customized instructional methods from other calculus reform efforts. CUTYC integrates cooperative learning, graphing technology, and writing in a progression of problems and projects that challenge students while improving their confidence and study skills. The CUTYC faculty teams will serve as the senior personnel for SC3. At each institute they will lead eight new teams who will experience the CUTYC approach and plan for the ensuing year. The CUTYC teams will mentor the new teams as they craft a curriculum suited to the needs of their students and home institutions. The new teams will conduct workshops for their colleagues to spread the ideas and methods of the project to other faculty and other courses. The coalition will directly involve 56 faculty leaders at 28 collaborating institutions. The project will influence numerous other faculty through on-site workshops, conference presentations, and publications. An advisory board will guide the project's progress, and the project will employ an instructional consultant and an evaluator. Evaluation will be used to refine the instructional approach, to customize it to local site conditions, and to measure the success of the project.

9455163这个为期三年的项目将扩大现有的微积分联盟，建立一个两年制学院和综合大学的网络，将改革他们的微积分课程。德克萨斯州东南部现有的联盟将分三个阶段扩大，包括整个中南部各州的机构。扩大的联盟将从密集的九天研究所成长起来，并将通过指导，电子邮件，后续工作坊和时事通讯来促进。 该联盟将使用微积分综合大学和两年制学院（CUTYC）项目的材料和方法，在该项目中，萨姆休斯顿州立大学和北哈里斯，圣哈辛托中央大学和汤博尔学院的两人教师团队已经编写了学生活动和定制的教学方法，从其他微积分改革的努力。CUTYC整合了合作学习，绘图技术和写作的问题和项目的进展，挑战学生，同时提高他们的信心和学习技能。 CUTYC教师团队将担任SC3的高级人员。在每个研究所，他们将领导八个新的团队，他们将体验CUTYC的方法并为下一年制定计划。CUTYC团队将指导新团队，因为他们制定了适合学生和家庭机构需求的课程。新的团队将为他们的同事举办研讨会，将项目的想法和方法传播给其他教师和其他课程。该联盟将直接涉及28个合作机构的56名教师领导。该项目将通过现场研讨会，会议演示和出版物影响许多其他教师。 一个咨询委员会将指导该项目的进展，该项目将聘请一名教学顾问和一名评估员。 评估将用于改进教学方法，根据当地条件进行定制，并衡量项目的成功与否。
