  2. New Mathways Project at Texas Institutions A systematic approach to increase the number of students who complete math coursework aligned with their chosen program of study

  3. 4 Principles of Reform • Multiple pathways aligned to specific fields of study • Acceleration to college-level math completion • Intentional use of strategies to help students develop skills • Curriculum design & pedagogy based on proven practice

  18. New Math Pathways Data MATH 1332 Success Rates by prior math experience2016SP and 2016FL (Combined) district data CONTEMPORARY MATH COURSE 63.1% 73.9% 81.5% N=105 N=591 N=69 Passed MATH-0362 Enrolled in MATH 1332 Passed MATH-0361 Accelerated to MATH 1332 Started in MATH 1332 From IIR Report DRS 1939 (1/2/17)

  19. New Math Pathways Data MATH 1342 Success Rates by prior math experience2016SP and 2016FL (Combined) district data STATISTICS MATH COURSE 69.3% 63.6% 69.2% N=184 N=3,063 N=412 Passed MATH-0362 Enrolled in MATH 1342 Passed MATH-0361 Accelerated to MATH 1342 Started in MATH 1342 From IIR Report DRS 1939 (1/2/17)

  20. Student Benefits Saves Time One less rigorous developmental math course Enroll in credit course sooner Saves Money Not paying for MATH 0362 Relevance Math course is relevant to career goals Success Higher success rates than College Algebra

  21. Fall 2016 District Math Course Success Rates • Math 0361 53% • Math 0362 42% • Math 1314 55% (62% A-D) • Math 1324 57% (63% A-D) • Math 1342 68% (74% A-D) • Math 1332 66% (72% A-D)

  22. Timeline: SE Plan Implementation Spr 2017Math 1332/1342 prereq changes * From Math 0362 to Math 0361District adoption of additional TSI Math completion status * TSI math met for non-algebra path * TSI math met for any path Training of Academic Advisors and Counselors

  23. Advising path • What is your degree/certificate goal? • Do you plan to transfer and if so, to which institution? • Find math requirement in Transfer Inventory • https://dcmathpathways.org/sites/default/files/resources/2016-11/Texas%20Transfer%20Inventory_AY16-17.pdf

  24. Keys to Success • Faculty support of 4 principles • Dana Center allowance of varied institutional response • Faculty-led team • Support in terms of time & release • Transparency and numerous updates • Future: Informing advisors and publicity
