| Title of Talk | Iowa Mathematics Pathway Forum |
| Abstract | This fall, members of the Iowa Department of Education started a statewide conversation with the goal of improving student success in transitioning from high school to college math, with a focus on low income students and underrepresented minorities. This conversation is taking place through a series of monthly online discussions connecting representatives from various professional Iowa math organizations across high schools, community colleges, Regents institutions, and private four-year colleges and universities. As our representative from the Iowa MAA, I will share the background for this initiative as well as our current progress defining challenges and brainstorming solutions. I will also invite discussion and continued brainstorming from the audience. |
