Overview

This summit is designed to bring Massachusetts public institutions of higher education and high schools together to launch a plan to collaborative design vertically aligned mathematics pathways to support student success. High schools should plan to bring a team of 4-5 people, including: a district administrator, a math department chair/district coordinator, 1-2 high school math teachers, and a guidance counselor.

Goals

Inform the high school community about higher education math pathways, and complementary placement and co-requisite support strategies.
Build capacity amongst K-12 and higher education partners to be able to vertically align math content in order for high school graduates to be college-learner ready on day one.
Establish clear next steps to implement vertically aligned pathways.
Determine plan to share information and planning beyond the districts who have representatives in attendance.
