Dana Center Mathways Project Webinar April 17

The current models for a complete reform of developmental mathematics are the New Life model and the Carnegie Foundation Pathways (Statway and Quantway).  Strictly speaking, the Carnegie Pathways are a partial reform — since they are designed for specific groups of students (those who need just an intro statistics course and those who need a quantitative reasoning course).  The two models are not competitive; the work has been broadly coordinated with much sharing of basic goals.

Our friends at the Dana Center have announced the New Mathways Project; their Mathways are another alternative with similar goals and concepts to the other models (New Life, Pathways).

Uri Treisman and the Dana Center’s Higher Education team will be hosting a webinar on April 17, 2012 to discuss how we will build on our work and contribute to the developmental math reform landscape. Webinar participants will have an opportunity to submit questions. For more information about the New Mathways Project, please visit http://www.utdanacenter.org/mathways/index.php

Details for accessing the webinar are outlined below and you can also go to this link for updated information on the webinar: www.utdanacenter.org/mathways/webinar

Please note that the webinar has a capacity limit of 100 participants, so if you want to ensure a space, please access the webinar 5 -10 minutes beforehand. If you are unable to attend, a full video of the webinar will be posted on our website shortly afterwards.
