About Project NExT and NJ-NExT

Project NExT (New Experiences in Teaching) is a professional development program for relatively new college-level faculty sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). It addresses all aspects of an academic career: improving the teaching and learning of mathematics, engaging in research and scholarship, finding exciting and interesting service opportunities, and participating in professional activities.

This national program was instituted in 1994. Section NExT, including NJ-NExT, is a program like the national NExT project, but is specifically targeted at faculty in a given MAA Section. NJ-NExT targets new-ish faculty teaching mathematics and statistics in institutes of higher education all throughout New Jersey. The goals of our program are similar to the national goals: we aim to support new faculty in the MAA-NJ section in their teaching, and to help these faculty integrate into the profession. The program is open to full-time faculty in mathematics departments in NJ who are entering their first through fourth year of full-time teaching. 

Information for Current and Future Fellows

We are now accepting applications! We are recruiting fellows for the 2021-2022 class to form a cohort of new-ish faculty deeply interested in the teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics/statistics. These faculty will participate in numerous workshops, and will be included in an electronic network that links NJ-NExT Fellows with one another and with distinguished teachers of mathematics. The Fellows will also have an opportunity to meet and interact with some of the national Project NExT Fellows from the New Jersey Section.

Application Process The program is open to full-time faculty in mathematics departments in NJ who currently in their first through fourth year of full-time teaching. We seek a diverse group of participants from a wide range of institutions. Your interest in the teaching and learning of undergraduate mathematics/statistics, and the opportunity to implement changes in your own classroom, are important considerations. To apply, please complete this google form by March 28, 2021.

Program: Fellows are required to participate in all three NJ-NExT events. Further, each Fellow is assigned a faculty mentor from another institution who can act as a great source of advice as they navigate the beginning of their academic career. 

1) The first workshop for the 2021-2022 cohort of NJ-NExT Fellows will be held online via Zoom in the evening on Friday, April 16, 2021 and in conjunction with the spring NJ-MAA meeting on Saturday April 17, 2021.

2) The second meeting Fellows are required to attend will be held in conjunction with the fall 2022 NJ-MAA meeting. Time and place TBD.

3) The third and final meeting will be held in conjunction with the spring 2022 NJ-MAA meeting. Time and place TBD.

Costs: The costs of the NJ-NExT workshops will be covered by the New Jersey section of the MAA. Institutions employing the NJ-NExT Fellows are expected to provide financial assistance in the form of mileage reimbursement, registration fees, and meals for the three meetings. 

Questions: Please contact the co-directors of NJ-NExT if you have any questions:
