High School to College Mathematics Pathways: Supporting State Efforts

数学科学会议委员会（CBMS）将与德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的查尔斯·a·达纳中心（Charles A. Dana Center）和Achieve合作，举办两场关于高中到大学数学之路的论坛，一场在2020年10月举行，另一场在2021年10月举行。这些论坛将汇集来自23个州的领导团队，他们正在各自州的K-12、两年制学院和大学系统中开展工作。在论坛上，各州团队将继续确定问题，然后制定和实施从高中到高等教育数学过渡的解决方案。这是一个正在进行的项目的一部分，该项目于2018年秋季开始，由NSF #1840722资助。这些州的团队将聚集在一起，分享他们在过去两年中获得的经验和知识。达纳中心将提供技术援助，帮助各州团队倡导他们的提案并为其实施制定计划。论坛的具体目标将是继续与以州为基础的团队合作，包括K-12、两年制大学和州高等教育系统的领导人，他们正在协调行动，通过中学后数学教育提高高中的清晰度。通过促进高中到大学过渡期间更好的沟通和表达，关注经常阻碍学生进步的个人和社交技能，论坛的结果应该是看到实施计划，为高等教育创造更好的学生准备，提高成功。该项目有可能对所有类别的学生产生广泛的影响，特别是对目前面临最大风险的学生，包括来自资源不足的学校的学生，来自STEM参与人数不足的群体的学生，以及家庭中第一代上大学的学生。这些学生面临的风险最大，他们将从精心设计的州为基础的努力中获益最多。本项目由改善本科STEM教育计划资助。这项工作将继续建立在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校查尔斯·a·达纳中心现有工作的基础上，并将借鉴CBMS成员协会最近的报告和建议。会议将由20至25个州为基础的团队组成，每个团队代表该州的教育部门、旗舰大学和高等教育系统以及两年制学院系统。各队还将招募致力于提高高中或大学数学教育水平的各州领导人。本提案由本科教育司改善本科STEM教育（IUSE）计划资助。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS)---working in collaboration with the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas, Austin, and Achieve---will hold two Forums on High School to College Mathematics Pathways, one virtual in October 2020 and one in person in October 2021. The forums will bring together the leadership teams already established from 23 states that are working across their state's K-12, two-year college, and university systems. In the forum, the state teams will continue to identify problems with and then to formulate and implement solutions for the transition from high school to post-secondary mathematics. This is part of an ongoing project that began in Fall 2018 funded by NSF #1840722. These state teams will gather to share their experiences and knowledge gained over the past two years. The Dana Center will provide technical assistance to help state teams advocate for their proposals and plan for their implementation.The specific goal of the forums will be the continuation of work with state-based teams, incorporating leaders in K-12, two-year colleges, and the state's higher education system, that are coordinating action to improve the articulation of high school through post-secondary mathematics education. By facilitating better communication and articulation across the high school to college transition and paying attention to the personal and social skills that often impede student progress, the outcomes of the forum should see the implementation of programs that create improved student readiness for post-secondary education and improved success. This program has the potential for broad impact across all categories of students, with particularly strong implications for students who are currently at most risk, including students from under-resourced schools, from members of groups underrepresented in their participation in STEM, and those who are in their family's first generation to go to college. These are the students who are most at risk and who would benefit the most from well-crafted state-based efforts to improve this articulation. This project is supported with funding from the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education program. This effort will continue to build on the existing work by the Charles A. Dana Center at the University of Texas, Austin, and will draw on recent reports and recommendations of CBMS member societies. The conference will be built around 20 to 25 state-based teams, each team representing the state's department of education, the flagship university and higher education system, and the two-year college system. Teams will also draw on state leaders who have been engaged in efforts to improve mathematics education at either the high school or college level. This proposal is funded by the Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE) program in the Division of Undergraduate Education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
