Other Info:
Bill Haver joined VCU’s faculty in the Department of Mathematics in 1982. Along with Reuben Farley, Dr. Haver is a founding Director of the Virginia Mathematics and Science Coalition (VMSC). The Coalition is a collaborative effort of leaders in education, business and public policy sectors that works to improve the quality of mathematics and science education.
Along with colleagues in the mathematics and education departments at Virginia Commonwealth University, Norfolk State University, the University of Virginia, Virginia Tech, the City of Richmond Public Schools, Hanover County Public Schools, five other universities and ten other partner school systems, Dr. Haver is a leader of a statewide effort to improve mathematics achievement in grades K-8 through the use of Mathematics Specialists. Mathematics Specialists are school based instructional leaders who coach and provide resources and support for classroom teachers.
In conjunction with the VMSC, the Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Virginia Department of Education, VCU has obtained two large National Science Foundation grants (TPC and MSP) to develop and offer programs at six universities to prepare a total of over 150 Mathematics Specialists. In addition, the grants support research programs that are being conducted in Richmond City, Hanover County and ten other school systems to determine the impact of Mathematics Specialists on the nature of instruction and student achievement.
I have served as a member of the Committee on Undergraduate Programs in Mathematics (CUPM) of the Mathematical Association of America. The CUPM Curriculum Guide: 2004 was released in February 2004. I prepared a slide show description (view in PowerPoint or web browser) of the recommendations of this report concerning mathematics majors for VCU's student/faculty seminar.
I am currently the chairman of MAA’s Curriculum Renewal Across the First Two years (CRAFTY) committee. In November of 2006 the committee approved its College Algebra Guidelines.
