The story is a familiar one: A high-school dropout and single
mother works the supermarket late shift. Motivated to earn a
four-year degree so she can have a better life for herself and
her 4-year-old daughter, she enrolls in a community college
after earning a GED. Three years later, she still hasnt
completed the sequence of three remedial math courses
required before she can take college-level math. Defeated, she
says, "I just couldnt do it anymore." For this student and too
many others, the dream stops here.
The Reality
60% of community college students who take theplacement exam place into remedial education classes.
This could be as high as 90% for low-income and minoritystudents at some community colleges.
The number of students moving from remedial educationclasses to college-level courses can drop as low as 15%.

For the developmental math student:
We have re-conceptualized the content necessary for successfulcompletion of a college level, transferable math/stat course
We address the intermediate algebra gatekeeper to college success
We have shortened the time it takes for dev math students tocomplete a college level course
7
For the developmental math student:
We focus the student on conceptual rather than proceduralunderstanding, resulting in deeper learning
We make sure students know the concepts behind the math andcan apply them in many contexts
We focus on students and the psychological and non-cognitivebarriers, the social and emotional challenges, that interfere withtheir learning

For the faculty member:
You are part of a national network, with important professionalopportunities and bringing national recognition to their work
You share in the network-wide improvement of curriculum andinstructional materials
Carnegie National Network faculty receive comprehensiveprofessional development support.
11
For the faculty member:
With a network, faculty members are no longer laboring alone tosolve the developmental math problem. We use the wisdom ofcrowds to bring together faculty members across the country towork on the challenges of the developmental math together.
The faculty and colleges receive real time feedback on theirstudents progress, even down to the keystrokes!

I praise the fact that someone finally had enough sense to realize that agreat deal of students have been kept from furthering their educationdue to this overpowering wall, and now there is hope for alot of us,not only to pursue higher education but to learn something thatwould really apply to our everyday life.

Statway and Quantway Learning Outcomes
Developmental Mathematics Learning Outcomes
Numeracy Facility working with rational numbers: computation, rounding, estimation
Proportional Reasoning Comparing relationships such as difference vs. relative difference; working with
percentages and proportions
Algebraic Reasoning Using variables to represent unknown Representing real world relationships with expressions, equations, inequalities, graphs
and tables
Functions Modeling situations with linear, quadratic and exponential functions, inequalities andequations
Describe functions verbally, graphically, algebraically and with a table of values
19
Statway Statistics Learning Outcomes Students will understand the data analysis process and the well-
designed statistical studies
Students will demonstrate the use of distributional thinking toreason about data in order to describe trends and patterns, judge afit of a model to distribution, and describe similarities anddifferences in comparing distributions.
Students will demonstrate an ability to use appropriate statisticalevidence to reason about population characteristics anexperimental treatment effects.
