First National FANS Conference
November 11-12, 1999
Rutgers University
New Brunswick, New Jersey
Fifty leaders in mathematics and science education from twenty states
gathered on November 11-12 at Rutgers University to learn about The
FANS Project and to discuss how they could adapt The FANS Project for
their own regions and states.
During the Conference, they experienced The FANS Workshop and the FANS
Workshop Leader Training Session, and they discussed the various
nitty-gritty issues that need to be addressed by anyone planning a
FANS-like parent-outreach project. They attended sessions on
administrative issues, on budgetary issues, and on materials issues,
and they developed "action plans" for implementing a FANS-like project
during the coming months.
A "generic" version of the videotape was subsequently developed for
use in other states, based on suggestions made at the conference, and
FANS workshops have taken place in Florida, New Mexico, Washington,
and other states.
At the Conference, officials from AT&T presented a check for $100,000
to the co-Directors of The FANS Project, the second installment in
AT&T's total grant of $200,000 in support of FANS.
