2016-2017 Impact Report: Six Years of Results from the Carnegie Math Pathways™. Carnegie Math Pathways Technical Report
Huang, Melrose
Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
Traditional developmental mathematics sequences are a major impediment for community college students who need to acquire college-level mathematics credit in order to attain their long-term academic goals. Each year, approximately 500,000 students fail to complete their developmental mathematics coursework, jeopardizing their ability to earn an associate degree or technical certification, and/or transfer to a four-year institution for further education. In response to this national crisis, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching founded the Carnegie Math Pathways. The Pathways include Statway® and Quantway®, two alternative courses that accelerate students' progress to and through college-level mathematics. Since launching in 2011, the Pathways have served over 27,000 students and consistently demonstrated significantly higher success rates than the traditional course sequence. In 2016-2017, Pathways success rates increased further, even as the program served nearly five times as many students as in its first year. This report provides descriptive statistics for 2016-2017 student outcomes as well as insights into potential areas for improvement, based on data from the Pathways' sixth year of implementation.
