  1. Defining the Math Crisis in Hawai‘i: Math Summit I(Abbreviated Presentation) CCAO Meeting October 22, 2008 Bachman Hall ORIGINALLY PRESENTED: October 10, 2008 Windward Community College In collaboration with: UH System Office of the Vice President for Academic Planning and Policy, UH System Office of the Vice President for Community Colleges Hawai‘i P-20 Partnerships for Education Hawai‘i Department of Education

  2. CAREER Career & College Ready Living Wage COLLEGE DEGREE K-12 UHCC Remedial/Developmental On-the-Job CAREER

  3. Many UH CC-bound HS grads need remedial or developmental courses in math – maybe Fall 2006 placement test data and enrollment data Fall 06 Fall 07 Fall 06 Fall 07 WRITING MATH Note: Percentages may vary greatly due to lack of common placement/course numbering. Colleges currently define which group to count students in. Fall 2006 and 2007 data are as received from the colleges. Source: UHCC Remedial Developmental Education Task Force

  4. DOE raising mathematics preparation of all graduates High school students may graduate in the following school years with courses as low as the following: High schools students earning BOE Recognition Diploma will graduate with 4 credits and more rigorous math preparation:

  5. How do we seamlessly transition “college ready” students into transfer-level courses? CAREER Career & College Ready Living Wage ? Gen Ed – Non-STEM Major (Symbolic Reasoning?) K-12 UH-CC Remediation On-the-Job 111/112 – Elem Ed Math 140 – STEM

  6. How close are we to a “seamless” pipeline? Which courses lead to… Math 22 Math 26 Math 100 ? Math 23 Math 73 Pre-Algebra Phil 110 Math 24 Math 81 Algebra 1 Math 83 Math 25 Math 111 ? Geometry Math 50 series Math 140 ? Math 27 Math 83 Math 103 Algebra 2 Math 135 Trig/PreCalc Math 140 AP Calculus Math 205

  7. Not enough students performing well in UH pipeline to higher level math courses Nots: Courses selected are those with enrollment >500 for xx semesters (Fall 2005 to Spring 2008). Data combines enrollment across UH campuses and terms. “Success” is defined as a student earning a grade of A, B, or C in the course.

  8. Only 1/5 of entering UHCC students successfully completed a remedial developmental math course in Fall 2006 Placement Results Collegelevel(10%) Did not take placement (29%) 5,538 Remedial / Developmental (61%) Course Enrollments 3,375 Enrolled (61%) Course Completions Successfully completed (56%) 2,046 Note: The Achieving the Dream cohort includes entering (includes transfers), full and part time, degree seeking students.

  9. Preparing HS grads to increase math achievement requires qualified and effective teachers CAREER Career & College Ready Living Wage COLLEGE DEGREE K-12 UH-CC Remediation On-the-Job CAREER

  10. HI projecting significant annual teacher vacancies and UH production falls short Number of teachers statewide Source: Economic Modeling Specialist Inc (EMSI), Spring 2008; MAPS Degrees & Certificates Earned, FY 2007–08.

  11. In mathematics, UH producing too few potential candidates to fill DOE vacancies Only 47.8% of secondary school math courses are taught by “highly qualified” teachers 39 28 27 27 20 Bachelor’s Degree Production in Math UH Mānoa and UH Hilo Source: UH Institutional Research Office

  12. Let’s improve math achievement! • Improve math pipeline leading to “career and college ready” math • Improve alignment of courses so that students transition smoothly between institutions and courses • Prepare more qualified and effective mathematics teachers/instructors
