Who we are:
The Institute for Advanced Study / IAS / Park City Mathematics Institute (PCMI) is designed for mathematics educators at the secondary and post-secondary level, as well as mathematics researchers and students at the post-secondary level. These groups find at PCMI an intensive mathematical experience geared to their individual needs. Moreover, the interaction among groups with different backgrounds and professional needs increases each participant’s appreciation of the mathematical community as a whole as well as the work of participants in different areas.
PCMI programming consists of the following:
One of PCMI’s main focus areas is outreach through their network of Professional Development and Outreach (PDO) Groups.
Professional Development and Outreach Groups:
Teachers are strongly encouraged to take advantage of additional opportunities through involvement in PCMI’s Professional Development and Outreach groups. These groups, based at cooperating university sites around the country, meet regularly throughout the school year and are usually composed of (although not limited to) teachers living in the same geographic region of the country. Other PDO groups may be formed from common professional interests, rather than geographic proximity, and would utilize technology for virtual meetings.
For Secondary school teachers, the Summer Session is one of two opportunities available for professional development. The second opportunity is involvement in a year-long program of Professional Development and Outreach (PDO) groups based at cooperating universities around the country. Within their PDO groups, the participating secondary school teachers work in collaboration with university faculty to become leaders in their schools, their school districts, and the larger community.
The classic PDO group is facilitated by a cooperating university or college faculty person.
How PCMI is different:
The defining feature of PCMI is the interaction among participants from all programs. With few exceptions, all program lectures and seminars at the Summer Session are open to all participants. In addition to the lectures and courses developed specifically for each group, there are daily activities and lectures of general interest. These are designed to foster communication among the participants and deepen insight into mathematics at all levels. Many opportunities for informal and social interaction are available, ranging from organized Cross Program activities to casual conversations over breakfast or lunch. In addition, the PCMI environment facilitates cross-program mentoring to encourage a sense of community among participants.
San Jose State University is the official sponsor for the SF Bay Area PDO under the leadership of Drs Joanne Rossi Becker and Richard Pfiefer. Rani Fischer and Kyle Barriger share the teacher leadership of the PDO.

What is Metro Academies?
Metro Academies is designed to boost college completion for low-income and first-generation students by coordinating course requirements and accelerating academic development during the first two years college—a make or break time for many students—and institutionalizing educational “best practices” that will lead to improving college completion rate for both CCSF and SFSU. Metro Academy is a four-semester learning community (cohort). Metro Academy students receive one-on-one support from faculty and have individual education plans worked out with an academic counselor.
As we roll into our third year, Metro is seeking out ways to better support students in their first two years of college. In addition, our prior experience has demonstrated being proactive and beginning tutoring at the start of the semester, leads to higher passage rates in crucial courses like Math. We are seeking Math tutors to work with students who are currently enrolled in remedial Math courses, for both CCSF and SFSU. We asking for tutors who can commit a minimum of 15-20 hours a week for the Fall 2010 semester, working at both SFSU and CCSF. Tutors will receive a $10 an hour stipend.
