“Practically every week, Bill Moore reads another article that examines what amount, and type, of math that college students really need in order to get a degree. That’s why Moore, director of K-12 partnerships for the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC), is pleased that Washington recently became one of five new states to join a partnership with the University of Texas’s Dana Center to improve the state’s college math pathways. At the heart of that partnership is making sure college students are getting the type of math they need to be successful in their chosen major. The Dana Center’s New Mathways Project provides students with choices among several different courses, or course sequences, depending on their majors. Each path offers students rigorous mathematics relevant to their fields of study.”(more)
