__ Intermediate Outcomes __

Ø __Design and implement new curricular models in pre-college math__ The first year of the project will focus initially on reviewing, analyzing and sharing existing work around Washington and the country with respect to pre-college math curricula. Through this process a select cohort of colleges will be invited into the ongoing project and will define specific strategies to pursue within the project parameters. The selected colleges will implement and evaluate their strategies in year two, then document/disseminate their work in year three.

Ø __Develop a math community of practice supporting teachers in addressing changes in math instructional strategies and classroom approaches__ In addition to exploring curricular models, year one of the grant will engage faculty involved in the project in discussions of current research on learning and pedagogical approaches in mathematics. Facilitated by the Washington Center staff, faculty will form Inquiry Groups around targeted instructional strategies to provide ongoing support and technical assistance for project colleges. These faculty-led Inquiry Groups will become ongoing resources for the system as a whole after the grant ends.

Ø __Refine and extend use of web-based resource providing math assessment support for students and teachers__ // Washington Math Assessment and Placement // (WAMAP.org), one of the key components of the Transition Math Project, provides an extensive library of math tasks and items that teachers can use in a variety of ways to diagnose and assess math competence. Our goal in this project is to utilize the existing WAMAP “power users” as resources for integrating the platform more fully into the pre-college math curriculum at the cohort of colleges involved. Through this process we will also continue refining the platform and work to make it more widely available, as a free, open-source tool, to both college and high school math teachers.

__Long-term Outcomes__

1. ** Preparation ** —students at the participating colleges will improve their college readiness in mathematics as measured by the Washington College Readiness Math Test. 2. ** Performance ** —the percentage of students completing the pre-college math courses they attempt at the participating colleges will increase and the students’ grades in those courses will improve. 3. ** Persistence ** —the number of students at the participating colleges taking and completing a college-level math course will increase, as will the number of those students earning the subsequent Student Achievement momentum points (15 college-level credits and 30 college-level credits—see [] for more details about the Student Achievement Initiative).
