TMP - Rethinking Pre-College Math in Washington Grantee

 

Highline Community College

 

2010 Spring Workshop Team Workplan Activities

Program Plan

Highline Community College is in the process of fundamentally redesigning the content and structure of its pre-college curriculum to accomplish three things:
  • Reduce the number of pre-college courses needed by most students from three courses to two courses
  • Ensure the mathematical content is truly relevant to student's career, academic and life goals
  • Actively help students develop college-readiness skills, including successful learning habits and attitudes
The grant will fund a lead-instructor model of instruction and faculty inquiry groups to institutionalize data-driven, evidence-based decision making about teaching practices that lead to high student achievement.
