On-Ramps to College (Part 1)

2009 ECS National Forum on Education Policy: On-Ramps to College: Building Paths to Success for All Students (presentation by: Uri Treisman, Executive Director, Charles A. Center, and Professor of Mathematics and Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin)
Mathematics has been a burial ground for the aspirations of myriad students seeking upward mobility through higher education. What are the strategies states and large urban districts are using to create mathematics pathways that work for students who only a decade ago would not have taken high school algebra and geometry? We'll examine new course offerings and how they are scaled as well as promising approaches to modernizing high school and freshman college mathematics.
