Digital Literacy in Adult Education – Virtual Panel

Digital equity is defined as a condition in which all individuals and communities have the information technology capacity needed for full participation in society. Adult education programs help individuals develop their literacy, numeracy and language skills. In this symposium we suggest that digital literacy needs to be an essential component of adult education programs as well. Many programs do not have staff capacity to teach classes that are only on digital literacy. One possible solution is to integrate digital literacy instruction into other content that is being taught. The papers in this symposium describe the efforts that are underway to understand the digital literacy needs of adult learners and ways to integrate digital literacy into different types of content instruction.

Adult Mathematics Teaching and Learning with Technology: The State of the Field

This session shares findings from a deep scan of current knowledge and practice about adult mathematics education using technology. The Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era project undertook this scan to learn from research, practitioner knowledge, and “on-the-ground” learning experiences to inform the project’s instructional design and provide the field with insights about evidence-based approaches and practices. This session engages participants in the scan process, findings, and implications for their programs, courses, and instruction.

The Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era Project: A Technology-Enabled Mathematics Course For Adult Learners

This session engages participants in a new technology-enabled mathematics course developed in the IES-funded Adult Numeracy in the Digital Era (ANDE) project. The course utilizes relevant, contextualized mathematics content; collaborative learning; adaptive mathematical supports; digital literacy supports; and social-emotional interventions promoting self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Participants will engage in course activities, and reflect on implications of the curricular and instructional design for their instruction. Results of usability and pilot testing will be shared.

Build Leadership Capacity While Scaling Institutional Improvements

Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC)  and Carnegie Math Pathways (CMP) partnered to examine methods to build leadership capacity while scaling institutional improvements. A National Science Foundation grant helped teams to scale their CMP implementation supported with coaching on change management and leadership development focused on organizational improvement. 

Within three years and during the global pandemic, MATC successfully transformed  developmental math programs, growing enrollment and increasing student success. Hear MATC’s leaders’ perspective on building leadership capacity while scaling institutional improvements at a large diverse urban institution.

Championing Practices for Scaling Implementation of Developmental Math Reform

Mathematics pathways have proven to be promising approaches to addressing the challenge of math serving as a barrier for postsecondary students. Despite evidence of their effectiveness, these efforts are still facing challenges as it pertains to their spread and scale. Our paper seeks to examine the work of actors in two- and four-year colleges who champion math pathways in their institutions. We examine championing practices to understand how actors advocate for the scaling of math pathways at their college and whether or not these practices are successful. Our findings surface four championing practices that these actors engage in, and reveal how these champions draw on their institutions’ structure, policies, processes, and practices to resource efforts to scale math pathways.

Seven Habits of Highly Successful Change Leaders in Higher Education

Learn the findings of a five-year NSF funded study conducted by the presenters and Carnegie Math Pathways via a National Science Foundation grant examining the impact of executive coaching on change management and leadership in higher education. The presentation reviews seven common traits of successful leaders with institutional examples and suggestions for implementation. We’ll discuss how leaders can create their own framework for successful change management that can be applied to implement change initiatives effectively and sustainably at scale.

Fire Circles on Undergraduate Mathematics Education Research with Indigenous Communities

We invite educators who serve Native students and communities to join us for an engaging scholarly working group focused on undergraduate mathematics education with Indigenous communities.  Together we will explore how institutions and structures historically and currently operate at the national, state, and local levels to create and perpetuate injustice and inequality for Indigenous communities in the United States. We will then engage in studying how our research commitments and practices can disrupt those injustices and inequalities.

The working group session will be broken into three segments:

  1. In the first segment, attendees will learn about our collaboration leading to the Fire Circles, a community-led process for learning about mathematics teaching and learning that centers Indigenous communities and affirms four commitments, Relationality, Responsibility, Respect, and Reciprocity (Brayboy & Deyhle, 2000).
  2. During the second segment, we will engage in small Fire Circle discussions around themes that attendees propose as relevant. 
  3. In the last segment, we will plan ways to advance our collective work in the remainder of the year along agreed upon objectives that may include: a research commentary, a grant proposal submission to support the work, the launch of continued conversations and Fire Circles throughout the year, collaboration in empirical work, etc.  

 

Participation is welcome in person or virtually, and there is no fee to participate in the working group. Please see the session abstract for more details.

Collaborating on Math Reform for Student Success: A Project Success Case Study with TCUs and Carnegie Math Pathways

Shared governance, collaboration, and trusting relationships have been key to the productive partnership of TCUs and Carnegie Math Pathways throughout Project Success. For implementation of math pathways reforms to be successful, it was imperative that these programs reflect and align with the needs and missions of the TCUs. Highlighting 5 years of implementation data and faculty and student outcomes, this session will share lessons and best practice for effective reform partnerships with TCUs. With perspective and insights from TCU educators, participants will learn how faculty engagement and strategies for shared governance of reform efforts can support sustainable change that is reflective of school and community needs and that drives shared prosperity for Native communities.

Curricular Relevance for Equity and Engagement in Mathematics

During this session, we’ll explore an iterative process in which faculty can develop contextualized math curriculum to increase student engagement and sense-making, and create a more equitable learning environment. Studies strongly suggest that relevant and authentic contextualization allows students to make meaningful connections to what they are learning, making it easier to internalize, transfer, and retain new concepts.

We will describe faculty-led work contextualizing concepts in mathematics to align with the needs and interests of specific learner groups; a process that is subject agnostic. We’ll then hear from instructors and students as we explore the impact of using contextualized curricular materials (e.g. social justice and Indigenous contexts) in a learning environment.

Coaching for Change: Build Leadership Capacity to Scale Improvements

Carnegie Math Pathways Administrator Coaches, Margo Keys and Stephanie Delaney, will walk through how administrative coaching and leadership development can help build capacity for spearheading organizational change and improve student learning outcomes through institutional reforms.

With limited resources, institutional leaders must carefully invest professional development funds toward methods with proven outcomes. The goal of this session is to demonstrate those proven outcomes and to engage participants in activities and learnings from a National Science Foundation-funded project on leadership coaching to support the implementation of complex institutional reforms, such as Carnegie Math Pathways. Participants will engage in two cycles of learn-reflect-share, each focused on a case study of pathways implementation.
