University of Wisconsin & NASH TS3:Redesigning the Math PathwayMadison January 18 2017
Redesigning the Math Pathway recognizes the importance of getting students to pass credit-bearing courses Redesigning the Math Pathway • What’s exciting • Innovative approaches to math entry-level • Growing consensus that not every college student needs algebra • Need to redesign the pathway to STEM majors as well • What are the challenges? • Faculty buy-in is particularly critical • Math pathways at 2-yr institutions need to transfer to 4-yrs AIM: “Our aim is to, within a certain number of years, to appropriately increase the number of students who complete their credit-bearing gateway math course, differentiated by career aspirations, in their first 30 credits.”
