1. University of Wisconsin & NASH TS3: Redesigning the Math Pathway Madison January 18 2017

2. 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
Aims statements were developed for each of the interventions after considering opportunities, challenges and evidence
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.”
