Developmental mathematics continues to be a barrier to success for millions of students each year. To address this, policies have shifted and new models have been developed, particularly corequisite courses. In this session, we’ll explore institutional strategies and administrative conditions that can impact success in corequisite courses.

Our preliminary results suggest that success rates can be impacted by:

• the number of total contact hours used;
• student cohort structure;
• faculty preparation time, support, and collaboration;
• and students’ initial reading and math levels.

You’ll walk away with critical information on promoting high and equitable success rates for corequisite mathematics courses and compelling data from institutions nationwide.

Speaker
Scott Strother, Manager of Curriculum and Evaluation, Carnegie Math Pathways

Math pathways are promising approaches to improving success outcomes but efforts to implement such reforms effectively at scale have had limited success. This paper reports on a 5-year study that examines the processes involved with implementing innovation at scale and the role of leadership in managing organizational change. Findings suggest that leadership’s role is sensitive to institutional context and that the distributed nature of authority can serve as a barrier or a resource in differing contexts. The study suggests that developing leadership capacity may be an important approach to supporting effective and sustainable improvement at scale.

Speaker
Ann Edwards, Director of Research and Implementation, Carnegie Math Pathways

As math educators, we aim to create classroom environments that provide equitable learning opportunities so that every student has the support and resources necessary to succeed. In the Carnegie Math Pathways, we have learned that cultural relevance and inclusion are key elements in the design of these kinds of learning experiences. This presentation will share strategies and approaches that Carnegie Math Pathways faculty use to make learning relevant, nurture students’ sense of belonging, and center student thinking and agency in order to provide each student with daily opportunities to meaningfully engage with peers, the instructor, and mathematics.

Evidence from in-person learning experiences shows that when barriers to belonging are removed, students are more likely to form social ties, overcome challenges, and ultimately succeed. How do we translate this to online instruction? Join us to learn about creating opportunities for students to build meaningful connections in online/hybrid mathematics learning experiences.

About the Session

How can high schools and colleges collaborate to better align teaching and learning to prepare students for success in college math? In this session, two high school-college partnerships will share the design of and lessons learned from the implementation of high school transition courses, courses designed in partnership with Carnegie Math Pathways to provide seniors at risk of requiring remediation in college with a robust conceptual understanding of foundational mathematics and academic dispositions and skills that will help them succeed in college.

Participants will learn about

• Instructional design of HS transition courses
• Implementation models in different contexts
• How HS-College partnerships are created and maintained, including issues regarding -inter-segmental coordination
• Effectiveness of courses in improving readiness for college mathematics

In this session, three innovative leaders describe how they reformed mathematics as the centerpiece of their guided pathways transformation and increased completion as a result. Responding to economic imperative, and in some cases legislative demand, these educators have brought transformative change to scale. Hear their challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned.

Be sure to visit us at booth 814 in the Teaching and Learning section of the conference exhibit hall. Learn about our innovative curriculum, services, and research and impact.

Students believing that they are capable of learning, that they belong, and their use of effective strategies are all key to their academic success. During this workshop, participants learn about support efforts that increase students’ productive persistence and can be integrated into courses through “starting-strong” and “staying-strong” activities. Participants reflect on common classroom experiences using a shared framework and adapt practical routines that promote and sustain academic mindsets in their classrooms. Gain hands-on experience with evidence-based interventions designed to create and maintain a classroom culture that supports students’ productive persistence.
