Project Kaleidoscope (PKAL) will operate a coordinated series of workshops for undergraduate faculty in the sciences and mathematics during each year 1995 and 1996. These workshops on Program that Work, each involving approximately 20 three-person institutional participant teams, will emphasize classroom and laboratory enhancements in undergraduate science and mathematics. The objectives for these PKAL Workshops are 1) to disseminate information on current reform efforts in teaching undergraduate science and mathematics, reforms that have created systemic change within an institution and as well as improved one course; 2) to encourage regional and national networks of faculty concerned with curriculum reform; 3) to foster a national environment which supports improvements in undergraduate science and mathematics. The Workshops will focus on eight issues: Revitalizing Introductory Courses in 1) Biology, 2) Chemistry, 3) Mathematics and 4) Physics; 5) Science as a Liberal Art; 6) Interdisciplinary Programs; 7) The Research-based Curriculum, and 8) Programs for Minority Student Success. Each issue, to be presented in a series of workshops, will be coordinated by a Workshop Advisory Board and issues Task Forces, individuals selected on the basis of their leadership in PKAL, their involvement with a PKAL Program that Works, and the recognition of their work by the community.

万花筒计划(PKAL)将在1995年和1996年每年为科学和数学的本科生教员举办一系列协调一致的讲习班。这些关于项目工作的研讨会，每个有大约20个三人机构参与团队参加，将强调本科科学和数学的课堂和实验室增强。这些PKAL讲习班的目标是：1)传播关于当前本科科学和数学教学改革努力的信息，这些改革在一个机构内造成了系统的变化，并改进了一门课程；2)鼓励与课程改革有关的区域和国家教员网络；3)促进支持本科科学和数学改进的国家环境。研讨会将集中讨论八个问题：重振1)生物学、2)化学、3)数学和4)物理的入门课程；5)作为文科的科学；6)跨学科计划；7)以研究为基础的课程；8)少数民族学生成功计划。每一期将在一系列研讨会上介绍，将由研讨会咨询委员会和问题特别工作组协调，这些工作组是根据个人在PKAL中的领导能力、他们对有效的PKAL计划的参与以及他们的工作得到社区的认可来挑选的。
