| Title of Talk | Mathematics Course Placement -- How? Why? For whom? Recommended Guidelines for an Effective Placement Process for the First College Mathematics Course |
| Abstract | The issue of mathematics transitions that students navigate as they move through high school to college and on to career is many faceted and critically impactful across education and workforce development, and affects educators at all levels, business and civic leaders, and most importantly, current and future Iowa students. A new state group has been formed to help address this issue—the Iowa Higher Education Mathematics Transition Advisory Council (IHEMTAC). The charge of the Advisory Council is to examine the relevant research and related literature around mathematical transitions for the purpose of developing and making recommendations and taking appropriate action steps relating to the mathematics transitions students make from high school through college. The Council is comprised of representatives from two- and four-year public and private institutions of higher education and representatives of high schools in Iowa, and is organized into action groups focused on three general objectives: • AG 1 – Provide Effective High School Mathematics Pathways • AG 2 – Provide an Effective Mathematics Transition from High School to College • AG 3 – Provide Effective College Mathematics Pathways In this session, we will focus on AG 2. In particular, we will present our near-final draft of recommendations for an effective mathematics course placement process. These recommendations are based on best practice and research. Please join us to help shape the final draft and move this work forward! |
