Texas Community Colleges Address Gaps in Math |
|
Tuesday, 15 May 2012 |
|
 By Kimberly Reeves
Texas community colleges have unveiled a new framework to address the alarming
gaps in math that leave almost half of all students who enter college
unprepared for a freshman-level mathematics class.
The action, well over a year in the making at the University of Texas Dana
Center, is the counterpoint of last month’s State Board of Education meeting,
where members strengthened proficiency in early grade standards. In
conservative circles, this has been referred to as banning calculators in the
elementary schools.
The effort of the Texas Association of Community Colleges and the Charles A
Dana Center is known as the New Mathways Project. Steven Johnson of TACC
describes it as creating math pathways appropriate for various degree plans.
