Presentation to
Mechanism
To develop & demonstrate the value of adapting the
‘research team’ model of work to IDEA objectives, with
particular emphasis on the preparation of future K-grad
educators.
FUTURE
Foundations of Undergraduate Teaching:
Uniting Research & Education
Challenge to HS Teachers
What have you wanted to develop for your science classroom that could
use some assistance from the University of Michigan?
Principal Collaborators
Mainstream LSA undergraduates in math/science classes who might want
to collaborate with a teacher on developing and teaching new
lessons/labs with HS students
Support
IDEA staff, senior LSA undergraduate or graduate students, SOE
graduate students

I would say go because you will make lots of friends and learn
a lot.

Initiatives
Strategy 1: Partnering with programs that naturally attract
educational innovations
(1) LSA Honors
(2) Sweetland Writing Center
(3) Science Learning Center
(4) E-Portfolio project
Sweetland:
2009 - 2010 - GSI training & support for integrating
“writing to learn” assignments into intro science classes
Partnerships on UM Proposals
2008: HP Innovation/Outreach (declined)
2008 NSF: IDBR (single molecule) (declined)
2009 NSF: CRIF (single molecule) (pending)
