The IMSA Fund for Advancement of Education, chartered in 1986, is a not-for-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation that enlists private sector support of "margin of excellence" initiatives at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. These initiatives include curriculum development projects, statewide service programs, minority recruitment programs, laboratory equipment purchases, special student activities and a permanent endowment.

Dear Shareholders of the IMSA Fund for Advancement of Education, It is our privilege to share with you, our shareholders, the 1994-95 annual report of the IMSA Fund for Advancement of Education. This was another remarkable year for the IMSA Fund. Visionary donors such as the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Toyota USA Foundation and more than 117 corporations, foundations and organizations know that by investing in IMSA, they are investing in the future. These "partners for the future," including more than 500 individual donors, understand that programs to improve mathematics and science teaching in Illinois are key investments we must make today in order for Illinois and the United States to thrive in the global marketplace tomorrow. We expect great things from an institution like the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, and from its students and staff... and every year, we receive nothing less. For example, this year an IMSA student won first place in the Illinois Institute of Technology's International Bridge-Building Competition. This aspiring engineer constructed his bridge in the Grainger Inventors' Workshop, a wonderful resource for IMSA students made possible through the generous contribution of The Grainger Foundation (see page 4). In addition, it was reported that IMSA's Class of 1994 led the nation on the ACT exam with an average score of 31.0. This was the fifth consecutive year it was reported that IMSA led the nation on the ACT exam. In addition to challenging our "best and brightest," IMSA has as its mission the task of improving teaching and learning throughout the state. This past year, IMSA completed the first year of K-16 school-based partnership initiatives to transform and enhance mathematics and science teaching and learning. Educators from 50 Illinois schools worked with IMSA during the past year, addressing topics such as problem-based learning, gender issues in mathematics and science, interdisciplinary learning and authentic assessment.

New professional development programs were presented to mathematics and computer science teachers from high schools around the state and to junior high teachers in schools with large minority student populations. Through internal work with IMSA students and external work with Illinois teachers, the Academy is striving to "touch the future" of mathematics and science education in Illinois, and the nation. We now approach a milestone in IMSA's history, the 10-year anniversary of its opening on September 7, 1986. While it is important to celebrate our past accomplishments, it is even more critical that we look forward to the future. As we plan our anniversary celebration, we adopt the theme "Touch the Future" to make clear our focus. We both look forward to working together to provide the leadership needed as the Academy embarks on its journey into the next decade. On behalf of the entire IMSA Fund board of directors, thank you for your outstanding commitment and generous sponsorship. Together, with your support, we indeed expect to "touch the future."

R. Thompson (f Michael J. Birck Chairman President IMSA Fund Board of Directors IMSA Fund Board of Directors Stephanie Pace Marshall, Ph.D. From the Executive Birector

Dear Partners, It is my privilege, as executive director of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, to thank you for your generous investment in our educational R&D laboratory.

The 1994-95 academic year was characterized by expanded dialogue, commitment and collaboration among faculty and staff and our educational partners throughout Illinois, as we continue to challenge ourselves and others to pioneer ways of transforming mathematics and science teaching and learning through connections.

For example, in a time of increasing calls for greater performance and accountability in the teaching profession, and increasing calls for more highly skilled workers for the 21st Century, IMSA teachers are leading the way with a promising new system for professional accountability and development. The new system called CADRE (Career Development Reinforcing Excellence) challenges the educational status quo. We began implementing it in 1994-95, and initial results are very promising.

Grounded in mutual accountability and professional trust, CADRE holds teachers accountable for improving student learning and professional practice, and for developing products and services for external sharing. As one IMSA teacher so aptly said, "It is a model of higher expectations. One of the ways to get outstanding work is to expect it!"

Externally, we completed our first year of partnerships with 50 elementary and secondary schools across Illinois, examining some of the issues we believe are essential to the transformation of mathematics and science education. Examples included problem-based learning, technology applications, interdisciplinary learning, authentic assessment and gender issues. We also offered several new professional development programs for Illinois teachers in 1994-95.

As we continue to expand service to our state and nation, the support of our donors and the visionary leadership of our Fund Board members becomes even more critical. We look forward to your guidance as we strive to develop, implement and share methods and programs which will ensure success for all students in the 21st Century workforce.

We also would like to recognize our emerging group of donors, IMSA alumni. We were pleased to host the first Alumni Open House this year and look forward to their continued support and involvement in the Academy throughout their lives.

On behalf of the board of trustees, faculty and staff, students and educational partners of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, thank you.

Sincerely.

In May, 1995, Amonlirdviman won first place in the 18th Annual Illinois Institute of Technology's International Bridge-Building Competition, demonstrating his command of physics and structural engineering. Constructed in the workshop, his award-winning basswood bridge weighed less than an ounce (22.48 g) and held 158 pounds (70 kg), for an efficiency rating of 3110. To help perfect the designs, students used high-speed shutter video while testing the strength of the bridges to record and iden­ tify stress and breaking points as weights were applied. Marshall Keig, a consultant with The Grainger Foundation, said it is important for future engineers to see the "math at work." "To be able to visualize what can happen if you are designing a bridge and you make even a tiny mistake in your calculations, is quite important," Keig said. Amonlirdviman agreed, adding that many aspiring engineers who graduate from college lack hands-on experience.
