19 Community Colleges Will Take Part in Remedial-Math Experiment
Five foundations have announced the names of 19 community colleges that will take part in a two-year, $14-million experiment aimed at improving remedial courses in mathematics, which are a central challenge for such institutions. The project is based on two accelerated courses known as Statway and Mathway. Two officials at the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which is leading the endeavor, wrote about their work in The Chronicle in April. And WestEd, a regional educational laboratory, has posted a series of videos about the project.
The Ticker is The Chronicle's breaking-news blog, with frequent updates from editors and reporters who scour the world for higher-education news.
