Texas Transfer Inventory Guide (2020-2021, Excel)

The Texas 2-year and 4-year transfer inventory guide for AY 2020-21.

UNC System Math Pathways Task Force Recommendations

The University of North Carolina System (UNC System) Math Pathways Task Force Recommendations Report address both breadth and depth recommendations for UNC System institutions to implement mathematics pathways. The recommendations focus on multiple areas including design of math pathways; student supports; curriculum, pedagogy, and faculty engagement; advising; placement; K-14 partnerships

Emerging Solutions #3 - Improving Institutional Collaboration and Student Outcomes Through the Texas Transfer Alliance

The COVID-19 pandemic put higher education in a state of flux in 2020. Colleges and universities can no longer do “business as usual.” Making sure students are able to reenroll, receive credit for the work they completed before the pandemic, and help displaced workers retransition into the higher education pipeline will be extremely important once the crisis ends. Effective policies around

Systemically Aligned: Guided Pathways and Mathematics Pathways Working Together for Student Success

In recent years, two reform movements—guided pathways and mathematics pathways—have attempted to ease the burden placed on students across the higher education pipeline. Both pathways movements seek to simplify and clarify the educational pipeline for college students by aligning program-level requirements and learning outcomes with students’ academic and career interests. Yet up until now, each

Emerging Solutions #2 - It Takes a Village: Central Texas Mathematics Alignment Taskforce

Recognizing that student proficiency and success rates in mathematics are much lower than desired in Central Texas, as is commonly the case elsewhere, the region’s education leaders decided in 2018 to address the problem directly and established the Central Texas Math Alignment Taskforce (CTXMAT). Less than two years later, changes are underway in K-12, community colleges, and universities that

Continuous Improvement in Mathematics Departments: Some thoughts from the field

To fully realize the promise of math pathways, the Dana Center recommends that math departments engage in a deliberate and thoughtful process of continuous improvement throughout the initial structural changes and beyond. Putting into place new, aligned math pathways is a significant step, but that step must be followed by questioning and confirming that students are being placed in the

Texas Transfer Inventory Guide (2019-20, Excel)

Texas 2-year and 4-year transfer inventory guide for 2019-20. This year's version of the Texas Transfer Inventory only includes updated information on the core curriculum and transferability of mathematics courses.

Re-envisioning the Pathway to Calculus to Broaden Participation in STEM Programs

Professionals in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) help drive our nation’s innovation and competitiveness in a variety of fields and industries. According to the Department of Commerce, STEM occupations are expected to grow at a rate of 1.4 times faster than non-STEM occupations, and the United States will need approximately one million more STEM professionals between 2014

Emerging Solutions #1 - Mathematics Education for Nursing

As the baby boom generation ages, the current shortage of registered nurses in the United States is expected to worsen due to a rising need for nursing services and the retirement of significant numbers of nurses. Hence, nursing professional associations and other experts are increasingly analyzing the real or perceived barriers to entry into and successful completion of nursing programs and

Using Multiple Measures of Mathematics Readiness Improves Student Success at Middlesex Community College

In recent years, researchers and math faculty have questioned the use of standardized tests as a sole predictor of college readiness. Often, test scores underestimate student potential to succeed in college-level courses and disproportionately place students of color, low-income students, and returning adults into prerequisite developmental courses. A growing body of rigorous studies finds that
