How to apply for a place in the itp Disciplinary Commons

To be eligible for a place in the Commons, you must be teaching an introductory programming course in 2005/6.

Send an e-mail to Sally Fincher, including these details: your name, e-mail address, the name of your College/University, a paper-mail address and phone number.

Then:

• Please provide a brief position statement (couple of paragraphs). This should indicate who you are, where you're starting from, and what you're hoping to achieve.
• Let me know what courses you regularly teach (name plus one-sentence description for each)
• Are there any periods (even particular days of the week) which you know would cause problems for attending a monthly meeting? (e.g. are you going to be away, or at a conference?). Is there anything else about scheduling I should know about?
• Is there anything else you would like to add?

Applicants will selected to provide maximum diversity of background, experience and institutional context.

Deadline for applications is Friday 9th September 2005. Applicants will be notified by Monday 12th September.

If you don't receive an acknowledgement, I haven't received your application.

There is no cost to participate in the Commons.
The Commons project will pay for all meetings, and for participants travelling costs.
