Special Project: North Central Regional Shaping the Future Workshop Project Summary The colleges of Education and Natural Science at Michigan State University, with cooperation from the Michigan Department of Education will host a workshop for mathematics, science, and science education faculty and administrators from campuses in the North central region on June 24, 1998 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center of Michigan State University. This workshop is a follow-up to the highly successful national conference held last year at Michigan State University during May 8-10: Revitalizing Undergraduate Science and Mathematics Education: A National Dialog. This event was attended by 400 faculty and administrators from around the nation. The June workshop will address specific issues raised by the conferees, namely, how the various recommendations of Shaping the Future: New Expectations for Undergraduate Education in Science, Mathematics, Engineerin& and Technology (NSF96-139) that are particularly important to institutions of higher education in the North central region of the U.S. can be implemented. Referencing this report, the principal foci of the workshop will be: V. Role of college ~ university administrators in shaping the future VI. Role of SMELT departments in promoting faculty development VII. Role of SME&T faculty in facilitating and employing curricular improvements and pedagogical enhancements to SME&T courses. Teams of 3 to 5 faculty and administrators from each participating institution will attend this workshop. The plan is to invite teams from a mix of 60 two- and four-year institutions. Particular attention will be given to the issues of reaching all students found in three major groups (majors, students planning teaching careers, and non majors). One ofthe themes of the workshop will be developing partnerships between two- and four-yea institutions and ensuring the foundation courses taken in two-year colleges will properly prepare students for furthe r work in four-year institutions. This work will be guided by an external advisory committee of experts.

特别项目：中北部地区塑造未来研讨会项目摘要密歇根州立大学的教育和自然科学学院将与密歇根教育部合作，于1998年6月24日在密歇根州立大学凯洛格酒店和会议中心为中北部地区的数学、科学和科学教育教职员工和管理人员举办一次研讨会。这次研讨会是去年5月8日至10日在密歇根州立大学举行的非常成功的全国会议的后续活动：振兴本科生科学和数学教育：全国对话。来自全国各地的400名教职员工和管理人员参加了这次活动。6月的研讨会将讨论与会者提出的具体问题，即如何实施对美国中北部地区的高等教育机构特别重要的《塑造未来：对科学、数学、工程与工程和技术本科教育的新期望》(NSF96-139)的各种建议。参考这份报告，研讨会的主要焦点将是：V.学院和大学管理人员在塑造未来中的作用VI.冶炼部门在促进教师发展中的作用vi.中小企业和技术教师在促进和利用中小企业和技术课程的课程改进和教学改进方面的作用.来自每个参与院校的3至5名教职员工和管理人员将参加本次工作坊。该计划将邀请来自60所两年制和四年制院校的团队。将特别关注覆盖三个主要群体(专业、计划教师生涯的学生和非专业)的所有学生的问题。研讨会的主题之一将是发展两年制和四年制院校之间的伙伴关系，并确保两年制大学的基础课程将为学生在四年制院校的进一步工作做好适当的准备。这项工作将由一个外部专家咨询委员会指导。
