Carnegie Math Pathways is committed to helping educators create engaging and rigorous learning experiences that support every student for success.
Most importantly for equity and for student success generally is the quality of teaching, and Carnegie Math Pathways is really among the few efforts nationally to address this.

Holistic support for students – CIRCL Workshop Series
We support educators in creating positive learning environments for their students that enhance their confidence, sense of belonging, and know-how to successfully navigate and participate in the learning journey.
Learning alongside peers and with guidance from WestEd’s Lead Researcher for CIRCL, Haley McNamara, our eight-week workshop series helps educators build familiarity with implementing and adapting the research-based routines and practices within the Cultivating Inclusive and Resilient Communities of Learning (CIRCL) Framework.
- Workshop details: The series consists of five one-hour online synchronous workshops, with approximately one hour of pre-work before each online session.
- Workshop fee: $450 for 10 professional development hours.

Meaningful math teaching and learning in the age of GenAI – Virtual Learning Sessions
We help educators harness GenAI to support rather than replace rich instruction and meaningful learning, anchoring guidance in evidence-based math instructional strategies that leverage collaborative learning, content relevancy, student sense-making, productive struggle, belonging, and connection.
Our new professional learning sessions focus on elements of evidence-based instructional practices while engaging participants in critical discussion and exploration of GenAI tools and their impact on student learning, assessment, and engagement.
Our sessions will cover:
- GenAI 101 and the Higher Education Landscape
- GenAI and Academic Integrity
- Leveraging GenAI for OER Curriculum Modification
- Workshop fee: $75 per session

Systems and structures for student success – Institutional Coaching & Support
We know colleges and universities today are focused even more intently on student outcomes, retention, and graduation. We support higher education institutions to build and implement strategic plans targeted at increasing access and achievement in mathematics so that students can advance and reach their goals.
Through individual coaching and customized institutional support, we work closely and collaboratively with partners to help you in developing, implementing, and evaluating systems and structures focused on introducing or strengthening math pathways, corequisites, and other developmental math reforms.
Our partnerships are guided by the core values of:
- Centering educators – We value the experience and insights of educators and believe they should have a voice in the change processes impacting their classrooms. We aim to build educator partnerships based on respect and transparency and that leverage educator expertise.
- Learning in community – We believe that we can do more together than alone. Bringing together educators and institutions fosters collaboration and opportunities to learn from each other and share knowledge, expanding the reach of impactful practices.
- Focusing on equity and achievement – We are committed to ensuring that all students have the support they need to succeed in mathematics and in helping educators equitably meet the needs of their students.
- Taking an improvement approach – Change is a process. We support educators and leaders to identify, test, adapt, improve, and share practices that meet the needs of their students, based on analyses of classroom behavioral and performance data.

Toolkits and Guides for Educators
Corequisite Mathematics Toolkit: Tools and resources for the design and implementation of equitable and effective support courses
Sponsored by Strong Start to Finish and developed by Dana Center in partnership with Carnegie Math Pathways, this toolkit guides institutions through the process of adopting and scaling corequisites. It provides clear design principles, planning and implementation tools, and studies from the field, giving college educators a comprehensive resource to design corequisites for scale and build equity into each phase of the work.
Narrowing the Distance in ‘Distance Learning’: Lessons from Carnegie Math Pathways on Designing for Student Success Online
Carnegie Math Pathways has designed and tested a new approach to online learning that moves away from the traditional asynchronous learning model, which provides few supports to enable student success. Adapting principles that have proven to be effective in in-person course models, Carnegie Math Pathways has developed online courses focused on promoting connection and belonging. This brief shares key learnings from the design and implementation of online Carnegie Math Pathways courses as well as recommendations for how educators can support community and collaboration online.
Teaching College Mathematics With, About, and For Social Justice: A Guide for Educators
With support from Strong Start to Finish, Carnegie Math Pathways has created a new guide to help educators effectively integrate elements of social justice in their mathematics instruction. Designed in partnership with leading experts in the field of teaching about social justice, this guide offers strategies and tools to help create an equitable and just learning environment in the classroom and support students to productively explore important social issues through mathematics.
