1. This month LPT welcomed Scott Boyarsky to the team. Scott will be
working on the web site to market TORCH and find new ways to use the
Internet for CORE institutes.
2. All Woodies are invited to attend the Woodrow Wilson reception Thursday,
March 25, at the NSTA convention in Boston. The reception will be from 6
to 8 p.m. in Salon A of the Back Bay Hilton on 40 Dalton Street. RSVP to
Deborah Engel-Di Mauro at engel@woodrow.org <mailto:engel@woodrow.org> .
3. Attention Math Woodies: If you are interested in taking part in a
project where educators, K-16, have the opportunity to discuss the pros and
cons of the NCTM standards (as they are now and in their 2000 form), please
send email of interest and your vita to mcmillin@woodrow.org
<mailto:mcmillin@woodrow.org> .
4. All Woodies currently teaching K-12: Remember the old essay about what
you did last summer? Well, for a research project, please email Dean
McMillin, mcmillin@woodrow.org <mailto:mcmillin@woodrow.org> , describing in
250 or fewer words how you spent your summer. If you had significant
professional leave last year, please tell us about that too. Include your
name, school, grades taught, courses taught, number of students per day,
email address. It's really important for the K-12 Woodies to also tell
Proteus if their school is rural, suburban or urban. And optionally their
salary. If you'd like more information about the proposal, ask Dean.

6. Requests and Opportunities
-- John Brodemus (CI86) spent last summer devising a web page for an
Eisenhower Grant that presents a different paradigm in the teaching of
stoichiometry. The new pedagogy relates stoichiometry to a student's life,
simplifies the math by using no mole ratios, and makes doing limiting
reactant problems a breeze. The page can be found at :

Aquatic will be in San Remo, Italy, 7-11 October 1999. The Conference seeks

natural environment. See
