Launch Years Math Organizations Leadership Network

Math Organizations Leadership Network 

The Dana Center established the Launch Years Math Organizations Leadership Network (LY-MathLN) which brings together mathematics organizations interested in collaborating to strengthen—and advocate for—work improving the experiences and outcomes for students transitioning from the last two years of high school into the first two years of postsecondary education. 
 
The network’s charge includes using the collective power of its participating organizations to advocate with their members for necessary changes at their local institutions and systems. 

Call to Action

LY-MathLN determined that a unified message from their organizations was critical to share their vision and support for the continued work needed to improve the mathematics experiences and outcomes for students transitioning from high school into postsecondary education.

The resulting Call to Action statement above, and the six supporting recommendations, mobilize action across sectors and stakeholder groups to improve the experiences and outcomes for students transitioning from high school into postsecondary education.
