While maintaining our overall emphasis on math transitions and college readiness the TMP has initiated a new phase of TMP work beginning with the September Math Institute. We have shifted our focus to the pre-college (aka developmental education) math curriculum at Washington post-secondary institutions, building on work to date through TMP as well as the Achieving the Dream colleges here in Washington. We are partnering with the Washington Center for Improving Undergraduate Education to pursue an ambitious new three-year program addressing these issues. Read more.
