Engaging in important conversations about graduate education TPSE Math

A thought from career path panel TPSE Math Knowing the economic value of our math programs is very important.

Discussing with my Calculus class today nytimes.com/2019/09/23/sci…

Participating in National Academies Data Science roundtable. Understanding that local employers seek employees with data savviness and that quantitative literacy and data acumen are becoming increasingly important at 4-year institutions.

I’m teaching the corequisite for freshman Calculus at UT Austin, and it’s a revelation. The corequisite movement has changed the profile of students who are able to succeed in substantive courses with mathematical integrity.

A positive experience in a math course might actually create a pathway. I'm working with students who would not have been in class before. It's hard to guess which students will do well in advance. We should be more skeptical about what students need to know to succeed.

Happening today!

Join me for Math Pathways: Exploring the Present and Envisioning the Future AMATYC 2019

Join me later today for a panel: Rigor in the First Two Years: Implications for Math Departments #AMATYC2019 with Roxy Peck, Alycia Marshall, and David Bressoud.

New programs require that we work as a community and organize around student success. We also must ensure the integrity of mathematical content in our courses and pathways.

Content does not define rigor. See the Dana Center brief. dcmathpathways.org/sites/default/…

SUNY - The State University of New York Complete College America | CCA Christopher M. Mullin UT Dana Center Treisman says that if you actually want to work with faculty, you can't focus on implementing a reform with fidelity. Instead, the key is to implement with *integrity*

Started in earnest in discussions with my colleague Tony Bryk in 2008 # MathPathways x.com/raojenkins/sta…

Bill, Ohio is a leader--see ohiohighered.org/sites/ohiohigh… #MathPathways x.com/mooresmusings/…

Metamajor (or broad program of study) is the way to go I think for many students #MathPathways x.com/mccacss/status…

Talking with children about their possible futures is a good start--and setting them exploring #MathPathways x.com/utdcdenise/sta…

See core-principles.org Lots of plans in the oven. & CCRC book #MathPathways ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/publications/r… x.com/mooresmusings/…
