Education Trust-West, 2023
For far too long in California, remedial courses in California Community Colleges meant costly barriers to student success. Fortunately, recent legislation -- Assembly Bill 705 signed into law in 2017 -- requires these colleges to eliminate remedial courses and instead use research-backed strategies like corequisite support to help students…

Voigt, Matthew; Wynn, Lynda; Bjorkman, Katie; Lo, Stanley M. – PRIMUS, 2023
In this paper, we briefly introduce three theoretical frameworks for mathematical identity and why they matter to practitioners teaching undergraduate mathematics courses. These frameworks are narrative identities, communities of practice, and figured worlds. After briefly describing each theory, we provide examples of how each framework can be…

Adeyemi, Adebukola; Grant, Carrie; Sebastian, Kurt – PRIMUS, 2023
Course coordination implies coordination in the design, structure, and teaching of a course to the extent that multiple instructors within a multi-section course have come to a common agreement. The course coordination model within our college's Department of Mathematics is described and discussed. The outcomes experienced as the department moved…

Cafarella, Brian – Community College Enterprise, 2023
Throughout the 21st century, the discipline of developmental education has come under fire for low success rates and has created a great deal of controversy. This has especially been the case for developmental math. Over the years, there have been many initiatives to improve student success and completion in developmental math. Some have succeeded…

Karaali, Gizem – PRIMUS, 2023
In the spring of 2018, the Pomona College mathematics department hosted a community seminar on identity, culture, and power in the discipline and education of mathematics. The seminar was free and open to all students, faculty, and staff of the college. In this paper, I describe the specifics of the seminar, what types of issues we discussed, what…

Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, 2024
Gateway courses are foundational, college-level courses that apply to a student's program of study or to a college's general education requirements. These courses are typically considered first-year or lower-division courses and serve as a basis for more advanced studies. Research has demonstrated that completing gateway courses in two key…

Ekaterina Yurasovskaya – PRIMUS, 2024
We describe a lecture-free problem-solving Mathematical Communication and Reasoning (MCR) course that helps students succeed in the Introduction to Advanced Mathematics course. The MCR course integrates elements from Uri Treisman's Emerging Scholars workshop model and Math Circles. In it students solve challenging problems and form a supportive…

Melody G. Shumaker; Hassan M. Hassani – Journal of College Academic Support Programs, 2024
Over the past few years at Columbus State University, the learning support math faculty and director have focused on the importance of training academic coaches to effectively engage students in corequisite support math with key practices implemented in an emporium-based model for our corequisite support math labs. This model consists of…

Sophie Litschwartz; Dan Cullinan; Vivianna Plancarte – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2023
At community colleges and open-enrollment universities, most first-year students take placement exams in English and mathematics to determine whether they are ready for college-level courses. But large-scale studies have indicated that these test scores misplace substantial numbers of students--in other words, for many students, the test score…

Ziegenmeyer, Heidi – Tribal College Journal of American Indian Higher Education, 2020
Cankdeska Cikana Community College (CCCC) is a tribally controlled institution of higher learning that always has its eye on cultural inclusion, whether in STEM or any other program. The mathematics program at CCCC is the underlying force that ties everything together. Each of the Associate of Science degree programs requires that students pass…

Patrick B. Johnson; Nathalia Holtzman; Eva Fernandez – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
Two groups of mathematics faculty, one from a four-year college and one from a two-year college, redesigned their respective introductory college mathematics courses following presentation of observational data regarding how faculty had been teaching the courses. This presentation emphasised how infrequently faculty teaching introductory college…

Leung, Fok-Shuen; Radzimski, Vanessa; Doolittle, Edward – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2020
While the culture of many mathematics departments inflects strongly towards STEM, most mathematics departments also offer a significant number of introductory courses intended for both STEM and non-STEM majors. We are a group of mathematicians who, in this work, examine the intent and goals of a university mathematics education for the non-STEM…
