PLEASE READ BEFORE THE OCTOBER 17 SEMINAR SO YOU CAN ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANY. There will be a meeting about the conference following the seminar. TIME 2000 Conference Celebrating Mathematics Teaching Friday, November 3, 2017 Dear TIME 2000 Students, Thank you in advance for your contributions at the TIME 2000 Event on Friday, November 3, 2017. Your help in making the conference run smoothly is greatly appreciated. Together, we will create something special! Attached please find an Excel file with your specific job assignments on one worksheet and descriptions of the duties of each job on a different worksheet (see tabs near the bottom of the file). Your name might be listed as many as six times, or just once, depending on the time frame of the job(s) assigned. Remember to look for your name more than once. Then, click on the second worksheet tab to learn what each job entails. Check for updates and changes to the list between now and the event date. Notify me immediately if your name is not on the list, your job assignment is not explained or in conflict with another job assigned to you, or if you cannot perform your assigned duties. In addition to the assigned jobs, all TIME 2000 students are responsible for "Crowd Control" and "Food." Please read those job descriptions on the attached excel file (second tabbed worksheet). When you are between jobs, you should attend the keynote address and/or workshops. Links to the agenda and the workshop descriptions (with room numbers) will be on the right side of the conference web page at time2000.conference.edu<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/Honors/Time2000/Pages/conference.aspx>. General instructions, regardless of specific job assignment, are listed below. Please read all of the instructions, so that you are prepared to offer help wherever it is needed. This email is long but should provide answers to all your questions. As the ambassadors of TIME 2000 and Queens College, please remember the following: 1. SMILE. Approach students and their teachers; ask if they need help, or if they have any questions. Guide them to the correct location. 2. Be PROFESSIONAL! Know your job assignment(s) and what is expected of you before arriving at the conference. Please be ON TIME for each assignment. We are depending on you. Help make the day run smoothly! 3. Be POSITIVE! When you speak with our guests, introduce yourself and speak positively about the college and the program. 4. DRESS: Wear your TIME 2000 tee-shirts. If you do not have a TIME 2000 shirt (why not?), please wear royal blue and/or white and/or a TIME 2000 Sweatshirt. Freshman will receive shirts this month. 5. Embrace CLEANLINESS! a) Use appropriate and "clean" language b) Dress is casual but clean c) Help keep the SU and the classrooms we visit clean. If you see litter, please pick it up and put it in the trash. 6. Know how to get to the classrooms to which you are assigned BEFORE the conference. One of your main duties is to help guide guests to the correct classrooms. Make sure you know where you are going! PH = Powdermaker Hall You all know where this is! Do you know where the assigned rooms are located? SU= Student Union SU: All classrooms are on the third floor of the building. Use the stairs to go from 4th floor to 3rd floor and vice versa. SU Ballroom, 4th floor: Everyone reports here at 8:00am and again for lunch, after Session II. Use the elevators. Schedule of Events: Conference agenda: click here.<http://www.qc.cuny.edu/CS/TIME2000/TIME_2000_Conf_2017_agenda.pdf> 8:00am: Meet in the 4th lobby of the SU. All students should put on name tags and then report to the appropriate captains. Help will be needed bringing TIME 2000 equipment from the first floor to the fourth floor and then setting up the tables, signs, and folders. See Mrs. Weinman and Amalia for instructions. If you are not assigned to a job at this time, please help set up the food items if necessary. Help maintain the food tables (until guests are seated in the Ballroom) by refilling items (extra water bottles are under the table) and/or moving them up to the front of the food tables. Also, throw out any garbage left on tables. Check email for possible change of start time. 8:30am-9:30am: GREET our guests and direct them to the Registration Desks. There are separate tables for teachers/professors (on the left as you exit the elevators) and students (across from elevators). 9:10am: All TIME students in the vicinity should start directing people in the lobby and the ballroom to be seated in the SU Ballroom. Ushers must make sure all seats are filled starting with the front rows, all sections, of the Ballroom. Make sure students do not skip seats as the room will be filled to capacity. Speak up and tell students where they should sit. 9:30am: Program starts. Dr. Artzt makes opening comments, followed by the QC President and then the Keynote. All TIME 2000 students without an assignment at this time should be seated quietly in the auditorium, behind the guests. If you need to report to your next job before 11am, sit on an aisle so that you may leave quietly. Most importantly, TIME 2000 students should be good role models for the high school tudents. Please do not talk during the presentations. Remember to allow the high school guests to answer the questions posed by the presenters. 10:45am (shortly before the keynote speaker finishes his presentation): * Presenter Escorts Meet the presenter you will escort to a classroom in the SU lobby at the time requested. This could actually be earlier than 10:45am. Check with Nicole as per the instructions in the Excel file. Sit in the back, on an aisle, so you can leave discreetly. * EQUIPMENT MONITORS: If "Equipment" is your job assignment, you are also the presenter escort. Follow instructions for presenter escort, above and in the excel file. The presenter may be using PowerPoint and a projector. Rooms in Powdermaker Hall have cabinets or closets with all the equipment. Pick up keys for the cabinets from Lori in PH 002 before you go to the assigned classroom.

Pick up the calculators from Lori, PH 002 before the start of session I. After session II, please return the calculators to Lori at 1:15pm, in PH002. Then, escort your presenter to SU, 4th floor and help with lunch. 10:50am: Escorts meet the captains in the SU Lobby. After the keynote speaker finishes speaking, you will line up around the ballroom perimeter as directed by the captains with your room signs held high. Follow instructions listed on job descriptions. Room signs should be picked up from the teacher registration desk before 9:30am or from the captains when you meet now. Follow instructions of captains so that rooms are listed in numerical order and escorts are well-spaced around the room. Expect 25-28 students per classroom. Leave the SU for your session I room as instructed by the dismissal captains. 11:15am-12:05pm: Session I * Escorts will bring students to assigned classrooms. All TIME 2000 students in a classroom should offer their assistance to the presenter. Also assist with the distribution and collection of calculators and other materials. Help ensure that all equipment is collected from students before students leave the classroom. * At the end of the first workshop, presenters will stay in the same room and students will move to a different room for the second session. Students in the same room for Session I will move together, as a group, to a room for session II. When the first workshop ends, announce to the students in the room to follow you to the next workshop. Know your assigned room numbers! 12:15pm-1:05pm: Session II Escorts should lead the guests to the second room. The room number is listed in the attached Excel file and can also be found in the high school students' folders. There are no room signs for Session II as your group of students is already with you. Approach students who look lost. Offer assistance to the presenter. Presenter Escorts remain in the same room for both sessions. ***** AT THE END OF SESSION II, BEFORE LEAVING THE CLASSROOM, ASK STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THE YELLOW EVALUATION FORMS THAT ARE IN THEIR FOLDERS.

One lunch per person. Please help distribute lunches as soon as you get to the ballroom. All guests, teachers and students, must hand you a completed yellow evaluation form as a lunch ticket.

Q&A Session with TIME 2000 Student Panel: All TIME 2000 Students: Please help with crowd and noise control. It was difficult to hear the panel discussion in previous years. Please help keep the crowd quiet as needed. TIME 2000 students should spread out around the room. Help quiet the crowd.

02 Jun '17

Dear TIME 2000 Students, Happy June! I hope you all had a good semester. I would like to clarify some things about the portfolios which are due next week. * There is some confusion about the due date. Different cohorts have shown me different dates that were posted. To make it fair and easier for all of you, we will use the latest date posted. Therefore, portfolios are now due by 2pm, Thursday, June 8. Field Day will start at 2pm, so please consider participating if you have not yet signed up. * You are always welcome to submit your portfolio earlier but lateness penalties start at 2:01pm on Thursday. Penalties will be applied for every day of lateness. * Guidelines and grading rubric are still posted on SharePoint. See Shared Documents, Portfolios. * If you still do not have access to SharePoint, email Alyssa.Figueroa(a)qc.cuny.edu with your full name, CAMS user name, and cohort number (freshman=T19; sophs=T18; jrs=T17), and she will be able to help you during business hours. * If you have access but need help navigating SharePoint, see Alyssa in the lab this week or ask your cohort members for help. In the future, do not wait until the last minute! * When you submit your portfolio in PH 002, stop at the front desk and make sure that someone in the office checks off that your portfolio was submitted. Have a good weekend (working on your portfolio)!
