In this working group we want to (re)convene researchers and educators interested in understanding the scope of research that can be pursued with Indigenous communities on aspects of mathematics teaching, learning, curriculum, and professional development. A secondary goal of this group is to develop a network of scholars who are interested in advancing research on these areas and who are pursuing or planning to start projects with a focus on Indigenous communities in the United States, the Americas, and internationally. This year’s iteration of the working group will continue to integrate the contexts of Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) into research on mathematics education.

In this session, the discussion will focus on the paper’s findings and on understanding the implementation and impact of an innovative corequisite mathematics intervention in a large-scale quasi-experimental study. Conducted in a large U.S. community college, the goal of the study is to evaluate the impacts of the Statway Corequisite course on student outcomes and to understand the implementation components that relate to those outcomes.
