Project Roots Contributing factors: • Historical use of Math diagnostics • Student Success involvement and analysis • Peer Tutoring and Outside Tutoring indicators • CMP results and discussions
Project Goals • Analysis of First Year incoming students • Resources for better student preparation for college math • Means of assisting/rerouting math pathways of at-risk students in math • Increased collaboration between College and Secondary Math Faculty • Increased collaboration between math faculty • Better math support facilities and resources
Collaborated with local High Schools • Met with Heads of Mathematics • Limestone DSB • Algonquin Lakeshore DSB • Upper Canada DSB
Status in 2009 • Created algorithmic assessment test • Used content coverage recommended by HofM Mar 08 • Custom questions on MapleSoftTA • Administered to 350 Tech students in weeks 1 – 3
Status 2009 Identified 22 topics for math preparation • Prepared pdf modules for 11 topics • Lessons • Support questions
Status 2009 Created a math website • Math Modules • Access to Assessment Test • Other math resources
Path Forward • Capitalize on increased sharing and interaction between math faculty • Make Diagnostic Test available earlier to incoming first year students • Recommend Modules over the summer before starting their program • Receive help from HS teachers in May/June
Path Forward • Create remaining 11 modules • Expand math modules to include unit tests for use in alternate routes/pathways for unsuccessful students • Use assessment test results and learnings to continue to lobby for restructuring of math pathways at SLC
