  6. Nested Problems in a Broken System • Goals • Structure • Placement • Articulation • Student Support • Improvement Infrastructure 6

  7. Skills and Mindsets that Support Student Success 7

  8. Our Approach: New Pathways • Statway • Quantway • STEMway 8

  9. The Importance of Prevention Strategies • Beautiful examples • South Texas College • El Paso Community College

  10. The Promise of Accelerated To-And-Through Pathways • The Promise: • Dramatically increasing student success in college mathematics. • Dramatically increasing students’ ability to use the math they are learning in the world around them. • By working together on common solutions to common problems, we can build viable pathways to upward mobility for our students.
