Fans of Dr. Doolittle may recall his famous fictional beast, the Push-Me-Pull-You. It had heads at both ends but never knew which way to go. Many secondary school mathematics teachers feel as though they are trying to ride one of these creatures when they examine the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) and then turn around to consider the institutional demands of their schools and local universities.

The Teaching Improvements through Mathematics Education 2000 (TIME 2000) project is an undergraduate program designed to recruit and prepare future teachers of secondary school mathematics. The National Science Foundation furnished funding from 1997 to 1999 for planning and the first year of this project's implementation. With private funding, we have been able to capitalize on the accomplishments of this project by extending it to a full four-year program and offering it to incoming college students.
