Second National FANS Conference

November 9-10, 2000

Rutgers University
New Brunswick, New Jersey

Are you looking for a way to inform parents about your state's math and science standards, and to enlist their support for the standards? Bring The FANS Project to your region!

You are invited to attend the 2nd National FANS Conference, which will take place on November 9 - 10, 2000 on the Busch Campus of Rutgers University in New Brunswick. The conference begins at 1 pm on Thursday November 9 and concludes at 4:30 pm on Friday November 10.

The conference will showcase the key component of the project, The FANS Workshop, which has been presented to parents throughout the state over 1,200 times in the past three years.

At the conference, you will experience and participate in The FANS Workshop and a training session for workshop presenters, and will learn how you can initiate a similar project in your own region, using a generic version of the FANS videotape. There will be discussion of the nuts and bolts of the project, including issues like budgets and funding, databases, materials distribution, and recruitment and training of workshop leaders.

The following local expenses will be covered by our National Science Foundation grant for a limited number of participants: registration, all materials, meals (dinner, breakfast, and lunch), and lodging for one night at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Piscataway, New Jersey.

If you have any questions, please call Kerstin Schnatter at 732/445-2894, or email kerstins@dimacs.rutgers.edu.
