The 2012 Oklahoma Mathematics Summit will be held at the Oklahoma History Center on March 3, 2012 (email below). Please contact Dr. John Woods at john.woods at swosu.edu to reserve your space and for additional information. Background: KESAM SP (K-8 Scholars Appreciating Mathematics, Statewide Partnerships: A Hands-on, Brains-on Journey of Excellence), is an effective statewide professional development program serving Oklahoma teachers for several years. KESAM has developed statewide partnership learning centers at SWOSU, NEO, and CASC, serving K-8 teachers from all parts of the state. The following map of Oklahoma shows the three regions and public schools served in each region in 2010. KESAM has served over 500 teachers directly, and impacted hundreds more and thousands students indirectly in the past few years. This demonstrates the success of the project teaching conceptual understanding of Mathematics in Oklahoma. These partnerships offer an excellent example of the highly effective, high quality program called for in The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), under provisions of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act 2001 and Improving Teacher Quality (ITQ). The evaluations from previous SWOSU OSRHE/NCLB projects verify that KESAM Mathematics Institutes provide the resources, personnel, concepts, materials, and enthusiasm to have sustainable effects on the participating teachers' pedagogical content knowledge and have a strong impact on the participants' students' achievement. Please feel free to share the following information with your list-serves.

Southwestern Oklahoma State University with support from the US Department of Education and the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education is hosting a brief summit concerning improved teaching and learning of mathematics. This is an opportunity for key stakeholders across the leadership spectrum in Oklahoma to meet at an informal, neutral site to see best practices at work, to discuss viable, inexpensive methods of improvement, and meet with dedicated teachers from all regions of Oklahoma who are making a significant difference in their students' attitudes and performances in mathematics and the learning culture of their schools. Please look over the attached invitation, summit outline, and sample comments from principals and teachers. If you can make it, we shall look forward to the privilege of sharing time with you. If not, please pass this along to one other leader who you know to have a deep concern and interest in improving mathematics education across our great state.

Mitchel, Tulsa World Editorials 2/22/2012 Gov. Mary Fallin's laudable initiative to increase the number of college graduates in Oklahoma by 20,000 in the next 12 years is good for business and it's good for Oklahoma. The Regional University System of Oklahoma (RUSO) is committed to doing our part to meet that challenging target by transforming lives through higher education as our universities have been doing for more than 120 years. During the last several years, the regional universities in Oklahoma have produced almost half of the bachelor's degrees awarded in the state. This record is compounded with the master's and professional doctoral degrees that we also conferred. RUSO, which includes six out of Oklahoma's 11 regional universities, has produced almost 40 percent of all of the bachelor's degrees. Regional graduation rates have recently been characterized by some to be low - less than 40 percent. In reality as many as 80 percent of our graduates have not been counted in these calculations of graduation rates. According to the federal formula for calculating graduation rates of colleges and universities, a significant majority of RUSO students don't count in this measurement even after they earn their degrees. The federal system doesn't track transfer students, part-time students, returning students, or students who enrolled in the spring semester rather than in the fall. Last year, as many as 77 percent of RUSO students earning bachelor's degrees did not count toward their university's graduation rate when using this formula. The federal formula counts only first-time, full-time freshmen who enrolled in the fall semester - usually right after high school - and earned a degree within six years at the university where they first enrolled. A college-educated workforce is the cornerstone of a strong economy. Our RUSO institutions pride themselves in providing access to a college degree for Oklahomans who are raising families, are working, or who dropped out and have since returned to finish their degrees. Many RUSO students are over the age of 25, are transfers, or part-time students who are working hard to improve their lives through higher education while balancing work and families. They deserve our support because they become Oklahoma's workforce and Oklahoma's future - and they should be counted when measuring the value and contributions of our campuses at Northeastern, Southeastern, East Central, Central Oklahoma, Southwestern and Northwestern to building Oklahoma.

This free webinar will focus on different aspects on what Crowdfunding is, to what it looks like today, how it differs from Crowdfund Investing, what framework for Crowdfund Investing is to the legislative process in Washington DC, the hurdles to becoming law and dealing with everyone from leading Representatives and Senators all the way up to the White House. AGENDA: ? Overview of Crowdfunding ? Introduction of the concept of CrowdFund Investing ? Where it came from ? How it works ? Entrepreneurs ? Social Networking ? Local ? Innovation ? What is happening globally with Crowdfunding and why we must pass this now to effectively compete ? What we ran into in DC when we began to explore CrowdFund Investing ? Decided to try to make a change ? created Startup Exemption ? created a common sense regulatory framework ? began to push for it ? Who is against CFI? ? How has legislation moved through Washington DC? ? Review chart of different bills ? Current state of the process ? Current compromise being discussed in the Senate ? More information: go to: www.legalizecrowdfunding.org SERIES DESCRIPTION: In November, the House of Representatives passed The Entrepreneur Access to Capital Act amending the Securities Act of 1933. The bill would allow a new registration exemption for companies raising crowdfunded financing. Companies may raise up to $1 million within a 12-month period without registering the securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Crowdfunding Webinar Mini-Series will feature a balanced array of presenters from government agencies, universities, VC and Angel groups to present the advantages and issues for individual investors, policymakers, Congress and the Administration better understand the implications of crowdfunding.

The focus is on "software safety," however, the technology and skills learned by the students have general applicability to research and practice in their future studies. We provide a close collaboration with our industry partners. In addition to work on assigned research projects at UTD, field trips to Raytheon, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, and EDS/HP will be arranged to help the students better understand how software safety is adopted in practice for real-life applications. This also gives students a chance to directly communicate with practitioners to receive a first-hand account of the work environments and lifestyles in the industry. We also host special workshops on technical writing and oral presentation to improve students' proficiency in preparing and delivering technical reports. A highlight that provides an overview of our program including research projects, lectures, and field trips is available at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kRIUNotUdQ In addition, videos (along with PowerPoint slide shows) for students' project presentations as well as lectures on software safety and technical writing are also posted: http://paris.utdallas.edu/reu/2011Video.html Eligible applicants are those who have an interest in pursuing a graduate education, are currently enrolled in an accredited undergraduate institution, and are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. Incoming seniors will be given preference, but sophomores and juniors with strong academic records will also be considered. Special welcome is extended to students from underrepresented groups (women, minorities, and persons with disabilities) and academic institutions with limited research opportunities. Selected participants will receive a scholarship to conduct research with a faculty member in the Computer Science Department at UTD. Included will be a $5,000 stipend ($500/week), a housing allowance, and a travel reimbursement for those from outside the Dallas metro area.
