The ability for graduate trainees to develop self-efficacy in teaching (individual beliefs regarding influence on student learning) is critical,supporting their transition to an independent academic career [9]. Consequently, the outcomesof relevant professional development programs for graduate students have great potential toinfluence next generation teaching approaches, and subsequent innovation in undergraduateeducation [10].Interestingly, and of relevance to our current model, self-efficacy varies for graduate students indifferent disciplines.

Drop “no child left behind” with its drilling and testing and instead provide ourchildren with an introduction to the spirit of mathematics as it may have developed in Euler’smind. That is, the mathematics to which we introduce the nation’s youth should deal withquantitative problems immediately confronted by the students and should be treated as research.The engineering and technology communities who see declining enrollments may welcome anyimprovement in the conventional introduction of mathematics. The grade school students,teachers, and even parents might welcome having more understandable texts and
