Math Task Force Process by Objective Description This tool summarizes the full process to develop and publish recommendations by the task force and provides suggestions for activities to support the process.
Guide to Aligning Mathematics Pathways to Programs of Study_Template Description This template is a supporting resource for the Programs of Study Inventory Guide: Designing Pathways for Students tool. Institutions can use this template to define clear and appropriate math pathways for each program of study at their institution. Topics: Implementation, Partner Disciplines
Facilitating Data-Driven Discussions Description This tool offers recommendations for state-, region- and/or institution-level planning when 1) formulating questions about mathematics pathways, 2) collecting data to answer those questions, 3) presenting the data to different audiences, and 4) facilitating discussion about the data.
Implementing the DCMP at Temple College: A Case Study of Intra-Institutional Scale in Action Description In this video the President, Department Chair, Math Lab Coordinator, and other stakeholders at Temple College discuss how DCMP Model implementation requires cross-institutional conversations and ensuring “all people come to the table.” (2:40)
Linking Challenges and Solutions Description This template supports discussion among task force members to brainstorm and evaluate potential solutions to the challenges previously identified in the Defining the Challenges template. Topics: State Task Force
Planning the Vetting Process Description This resource supports task force leaders to plan an effective process to vet recommendations before final publication. Topics: State Task Force, Policy
Program of Study Issue Brief: Mathematics for Criminal Justice Description This brief informs institutional discussions of recommendations from professional organizations in criminal justice about modernization of mathematics course requirements among institutions of higher education. This brief was updated in 2019 to include national-level recommendations. Topics: Placement, Partner Disciplines, Transfer
Mathematics Foundations for Success in Introductory Statistics Description Formerly titled "Mathematics Prerequisites for Success in Introductory Statistics," this brief was updated in August 2019 to better reflect the Dana Center Mathematics Pathways shift in focus away from prerequisites and toward co-requisite models of instruction. In order to place students appropriately and in order to design an efficient and effective pathway to statistics for students who may Topics: Corequisites, Curriculum
Creating a Statewide Mathematics Inventory Description The purpose of this tool is to help a state develop an inventory of mathematics course requirements by program and by institution. The inventory can be used by the state mathematics task force to assess alignment of program requirements across the state. It can also be used by program chairs, mathematics faculty, advisors, and others to inform decisions about aligning mathematics requirements with Topics: State Task Force, K-12 and Higher Education Alignment, Transfer
Building Faculty Engagement and Leadership Tool Description This tool is intended to help a small institutional team think strategically about how its college might provide supports to build faculty capacity in terms of breadth (increasing numbers of faculty involved) and depth (building leadership and expertise). Topics: Implementation, State Task Force
